The accompanying program for film professionals and the general public is moving to Anežka Café (Anežská 12, Prague 1) this year. From Friday, November 8 to Saturday, November 9, we offer free lectures, panel discussions, and a masterclass. Join us to explore and discuss current trends and challenges in the world of queer filmmaking.
We have unveiled the PROGRAM for this year’s Mezipatra! The theme of the 25th edition of the festival, Queer Liberates, touches on themes of breaking free from the status quo and dismantling stereotypical boxes as well as the binary division of the world. This year, audiences can enjoy 25 feature films and 48 short films, which will be screened on the big screen from November 7 to 14 in Prague and from November 15 to 22 in Brno. The festival's grand opening will take place on November 7 at 7:00 PM at Kino Lucerna with the film The Beauty of Gaza.
At Kino Petrohradská on October 17th, we unveiled the trailer for the 25th annual Mezipatra, created for us by director Lenka Karaka. You can also find the trailer on our social media, and you’ll be able to fully enjoy it at all festival screenings. And perhaps you’ll even catch it on TV!
Can't wait for this year's Mezipatra? Save some money and buy a festival pass in advance! You can see any seven screenings for the price of five tickets. You can buy the pass in Prague for CZK 790 until October 31 in cinemas Lucerna, Světozor, Kino 35, and Edison FilmHub.
Mezipatra at Prague Pride brings fresh mix of debates and screenings to Baden Baden at Štvanice Island. Join us in discussions, let’s have fun and enjoy summertime together and remind ourselves of the unforgettable atmosphere of Mezipatra.
