Mezipatra: The Queer Generation Behind and On Camera

What does queer film and TV production look like in Czechia and Slovakia? What stories does it want to tell? What obstacles does the film industry put in its way? And why does queer experience deserve a place both on screen and behind the camera?

Come and listen to an open conversation about contemporary queer audiovisual work, representation, the courage to speak in one's own voice, and how a new generation of filmmakers is emerging in our region.

Panelists Gregor Valentovič – director and screenwriter Vendula Hlásková – TV series screenwriter Nataša Jurčová Findrová – film producer, activist and active member of Nadácia otvorenej spoločnosti and Iniciatíva Inakosť in Slovakia

The event is organised by Mezipatra in cooperation with the OUTPITCH platform.

The discussion will be held in Czech and Slovak.
