Stéphane Gérard’s experimental cinema focuses on the history of mobilisations and the representation of politics of gender, sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS and people of African descent (History doesn’t have to repeat itself, 2014 ; La Machine avalée, 2015 ; Entre garçons, 2018). His collaboration with filmmaker Lionel Soukaz led him to co-direct films for exhibitions (En Corps +, 2021, Mucem ; Artistes en zone troublés, 2023, Palais de Tokyo) which belong to a wider reflexion about audiovisual archives preservation (in collaboration with Bibliothèque Nationale de France for example). His practices also includes film programming (Lionel Soukaz: A Queer Avant-garde Pioneer, Anthology Film Archive, 2016 ; Sida, une épidémie politique, Gyptis, Marseille, 2017 ; Libérations Sexuelles, Révolutions Visuelles, Cinémathèque française, 2019 ; Une Renaissance noire, Chéries Chéris Film Festival, 2020 ; Black Archive, Beursschowburg, 2021 ; Photo/sensibles, Heure Exquise, 2024) and distribution through What’s Your Flavor?, a collective dedicated to queer experimental film distribution in France.
