LUMINA
Films from the LGBTQ+, Underrepresented, Minority & Independent Narratives Archive

LUMINA aims to enhance the visibility and accessibility of voices and narratives that are underrepresented in audiovisual culture. By collecting and categorising films by LGBTQI+ creators, migrants, refugees, people living with HIV, people with disabilities and other underrepresented groups, as well as works addressing social and humanitarian issues, LUMINA contributes to challenging stereotypes and promoting equality and inclusion. It also facilitates access to relevant cinematic works for audiences, researchers, schools, festivals and policymakers, while fostering networking and creating opportunities for artists from underrepresented social groups.

• LUMINA addresses underrepresented groups, including people living with HIV, women, members of the LGBTQI+ community, Roma people, refugees and sex workers.
• It highlights works that focus on these groups, as well as works created by members of these communities.
• Films will be categorised into specific thematic areas, such as gender identity, health (e.g. HIV, mental health), ethnic or cultural identity, disability, LGBTQI+ visibility and women’s empowerment.
