The Queer Palm is an independently sponsored prize for selected LGBT-relevant films entered into the Cannes Film Festival. The award was founded in 2010 by journalist Franck Finance-Madureira. It is sponsored by Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau, filmmakers of Jeanne and the Perfect Guy , The Adventures of Felix , Crustacés et Coquillages , and L'Arbre et la forêt .
The award recognizes a film for its treatment of LGBT themes and selects from among those films nominated or entered under Official Selection, Un Certain Regard , Critics' Week, Directors' Fortnight and the ACID section.
Along with Berlin's Teddy Award and Venice's Queer Lion, the Queer Palm is a major international film award dedicated specifically for LGBT cinema. [1] However, the festival has faced some criticism for purportedly sidelining the award and not allowing it to become an official award of the festival organization. [1]
Beginning in 2022, the Queer Palm also partnered with the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival to launch the Best Queer Short Award (Prix du Queer métrage) for the best LGBTQ-themed short film in that festival's program. [2]
