This has already led to some people linking monkeypox as a ‘gay disease’ - with echoes of the language around the AIDS epidemic in the 80s and 90s which was, at a time, similarly wrongly labelled a ‘gay plague’. Little is known about how the disease, which rarely thrives outside of Western and Central Africa, has managed to spread around the world.Ī significant proportion of the recently reported Monkeypox cases have been identified has being among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) following outbreaks at two raves held in Spain and Belgium. Symptoms can include fever, headaches and rashes. The virus, which is transmitted to humans from animals, is thought to be similar to smallpox but less severe and less infectious. Cases of the little-known disease are being investigated in Europe, Australia and America, with over 100 cases already reported in the UK. The diary-type film, set in the film-maker's hometown, shows a traditional society in which parents care more about their reputation than about their gay children's happiness.In just a few weeks, there has been an ‘unprecedented’ number of cases of monkeypox around the world. "You get, of course, prejudice and some violence against a particular community on the one hand, but you also get this very progressive law which basically allows everyone to identify their own gender, and also identifies a third gender," he said.įor its short film award, the "Queer Palm" jury picked "Will You Look At Me" by Chinese director Shuli Huang.

Part of the surprise stemmed from the discovery by many at Cannes that Pakistan is one the first nations to have given legal protection against discrimination to transgender people. "Joyland" left Cannes audiences slack-jawed and admiring and got a standing ovation from the opening night's crowd. "Joyland" beat off several other strong entries, including "Close" by Belgian director Lukas Dhont and "Tchaikovsky's Wife" by Kirill Serebrennikov, both hot contenders for the Cannes Festival's top Palme d'Or award which will be announced on Saturday. Past winners of the prize, created in 2010 by critic Franck Finance-Madureira, include Todd Haynes for "Carol" and Xavier Dolan for "Laurence Anyways". "It makes me sad that the festival is still cold-shouldering the Queer Palm," Corsini said. Not so at Cannes, where the festival's leadership will not even allow the "Queer Palm" - which has been running for a decade - to set up shop in its main building, the Palais du Festival.

The "Queer Palm" has been won by big-name directors in the past and attracted top talent to its juries, but has no official place at the world's top film festival.Īwards for films with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer content are already an integral part of other major movie gatherings, including Berlin which has handed out its "Teddy Award" since 1987, and made it part of its official programme. "It has strong characters who are both complex and real. "'Joyland' will echo across the world," Corsini said.
