Pride Month is a special time when we focus even more deeply on the legal situation, culture and living conditions of LGBTI+ people. For years, we have been supporting the fight for equality and showing films about various aspects of the queer community around the world. To celebrate the start of Pride Month, we are presenting the Rainbow Collection, a diverse set of films that address LGBTI+ art and fashion, as well as the legal situation and discrimination against the queer community. All the films in the collection will be available throughout the coming month.

"Welcome to Chechnya," dir. David France

Since 2017, Chechnya’s tyrannical leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has waged a depraved operation to “cleanse the blood” of LGBTQ Chechens, overseeing a government-directed campaign to detain, torture and execute them. With no help from the Kremlin and only faint global condemnation, activists take matters into their own hands. In his new documentary, David France uses a remarkable approach to anonymity to expose this atrocity and to tell the story of an extraordinary group of people confronting evil.

"Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami," dir. Sophie Fiennes

Larger than life, wild, scary and androgynous – Grace Jones plays all these parts. Yet here we also discover her as a lover, daughter, mother, sister and even grandmother, as she submits herself to our gaze and allows us to understand what constitutes her mask.

"I Am Not Your Negro," dir. Raoul Peck

The director uses previously unpublished excerpts from the unfinished book "Remember This House" by James Baldwin, the famous African-American novelist and essayist, as well as a wealth of archival film and photographs. The film features the voice of Samuel L. Jackson, the narrator of the story. "I Am Not Your Negro" won the BAFTA award for best documentary film.

"Jean Paul Gaultier: Freak And Chic," dir. Yann L’Hénoret

One of the most distinguished and remarkable couturiers marked by his striking and subversive creations – which this season, is neither a dress nor perfume, but rather the lavish “Fashion Freak Show”. In an-all access look, ”Jean Paul Gaultier: Freak And Chic” follows the exceptional and ambitious two-year making of Gaultier’s glamorous cabaret, which will plunge viewers into the eccentric and often provocative universe of this iconic genius.

"The Prince and the Dybbuk," dir. Elwira Niewiera, Piotr Rosołowski

Son of a poor Jewish blacksmith from Ukraine, he died in Italy as Prince Michael Waszyński, Hollywood producer and exiled Polish aristocrat. He made more than 50 films including cinema hits with Sophia Loren and Claudia Cardinale. However only one film was his true obsession -The Dybbuk – based on an old Jewish legend, the most important and mystical Yiddish film ever made, directed by Waszyński shortly before the the outbreak of the World War II.
