Once again, the island will be seduced by the strength of the GLTB cinema from all over the world

Festival del Sol presents in Canarias the most convincing gay and lesbian international movies

• After its first edition’s success, the Canary Islands International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, celebrates its second edition from 16th to 21st of January ´07 in Gran Canaria and from 30th of January to 4th of February ´07 in Tenerife.

• A great amount of premiers shape the festival’s attractive program.

The best international gay and lesbian cinema will shape Festival del Sol’s program, the Canary Islands International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Eighteen sessions, three per day, will take place in parallel from Tuesday 16th to Sunday 21st January, at the Centro Cultural de La Caja de Canarias, CICCA, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (at 18:30h, 20:30h y 22:30h), and at the Club Tucanes in Playa del Inglés (at 20:00h). The theatre of the Casa de la Cultura de la Granja in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, will accommodate from Tuesday 30th January to Sunday 4th February, the same number of sessions, at the same times as in Gran Canaria.

Festival del Sol, a fascinating proposal to enjoy independent high quality cinema, will offer the possibility of viewing great films, many of them premiers, of recent production from all around the world.

The festival’s first edition, carried out in January 2006 in Gran Canaria, exceeded all expectations and the goals set by the organization were reached and surpassed, having to hang the sign of “sold out” at every single session. Such success has meant the extension of the festival: more films, more sessions and the arrival of the festival at another island: Tenerife.
