Why is this film festival called ‘Endimaris’?
You have probably wondered about the reason for this festival’s name. Well, the organisers themselves explain it: “Endimari” is a Catalan expression, originating from the Garraf region, which means: “A useless person or thing, or one that gets in the way; piece of junk, useless utensil”. This expression perfectly describes how society in general has treated LGBTQ+ people throughout history. Following the queer community’s virtue of turning around concepts initially used pejoratively against them, the use of the word “Endimaris” in this regard is more than ideal.
