Es Baluard hosts the first edition of the festival Out Jove, a proposal that, from the cinema, shows the LGTBI show addressing various issues such as the sexual-emotional discovery and lymphobia. Young people will be able to know the emotional, sexual and gender realities with a pedagogical explanation that invites the debate.

The initiative is aimed at young people between the ages of 14 and 18, and this time there are educational centers in Palma, with more than 700 students from the I.E.S. Son Pacs, I.E.S. Madina Mayurqa, I.E.S. Ramon Llull and I.E.S. Archduke Lluís Salvador.

On Out Jove, seven short films will be screened LGTBI. The selection is made by Out! Affititious Diversity Cinema Show of the Balearic Islands and the Fire! International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival of Barcelona. Isabel Coixet, Isaki Lacuesta and Carla Subirana are among the chosen directors.

At the end of the session, there will be a pedagogical explanation by Ben Amics, inviting young people attending the debate. In addition, the initiative seeks to be a meeting place where entities such as Ben Amics, Balears Diversa, Thaki Runa, Alas and Transitam can provide information.
