If I Die, It'll Be of Joy
Alexis Taillant / France / 2024 / 80 min / French with English subtitles
DOCUMENTARY
Micheline, 81 years old, dreams of orgasms. Francis, 70, relentlessly challenges taboos surrounding old age. Yves, 68, a hopeless romantic, eagerly seeks love. In a world that underestimates the power of the elderly, they are part of a group of activists who defy prejudices and dare to reinvent sexuality, love, and rethink old age.
+ 29/10 > Following the film, a panel discussion will explore the unique challenges faced by queer elders, including invisibility, societal taboos, and the marginalisation of their desires and relationships. Panelists will discuss how ageism within both mainstream and LGBTQI+ communities can be dismantled, fostering more inclusive narratives around love, sexuality, and identity in later life.
