The association Face à Face (unique association "gay" in Saint-Etienne) has worked throughout the year to build links with other festivals or gay regional and national events. This multiplication of contacts has strengthened the reputation of this Festival Etienne now recognized well beyond Saint-Etienne. "This year, several directors or distributors contacted us spontaneously to be selected in our festival. This is a sign of a growing reputation undoubtedly encouraged by our ongoing communication efforts "says Philippe Charras, President of Face to Face.

It should be noted that the dynamic team of volunteers (about 90 members to date) puts all its energy to offer a demanding programming but accessible to a wide audience. A program that looks very rich!
