Ira Sachs protagoniza un ciclo retrospectivo en el Cine del Museo Reina Sofia durante el festival QueerCineMad
The American director will be in Madrid to present some of his films at the film season The Films of Ira Sachs. Glows of Queer Desire, and to receive a QueerCineMad 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award
The Museo Reina Sofía and the International Festival of LGBTQIA+ Cinema in Madrid (QueerCineMad) come together to organise a retrospective on Ira Sachs (USA, 1965), a pivotal film-maker in contemporary queer cinema whose work has charted, across three decades, the affects, losses and resistance that traverse the lives of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Sachs is the creator of a filmography which conceives of New York as the emotional architecture of his narratives, and as a space of memory, struggle and community. The programme includes the premiere, in Madrid, of Peter Hujar’s Day, with the film-maker also in attendance. On Friday, 21 November at 7pm, in a special session accompanying the screening of Keep the Lights On (2012), Sachs will receive a QueerCineMad 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award.
The series’ full programme is available on the Museo Reina Sofía website.
