Are all lesbians on film dangerous and bloodthirsty? What is the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality? How heated is the discussion on LGBTQ+ in Africa, actually? All of your questions will be answered as part of a discussion series brought to you by Mezipatra during the Prague Pride. Each discussion starts at 7:00 pm and is in Czech only. Followed by English friendly screenings, starting 8:30 pm every day from August 8–11. You can find us in the Kampus Hybernská space at Hybernská 4, and naturally on Grindr or Tinder as well. Free admission to all events.
You can also join the Facebook event!

První letošní Approved uvádíme ve spolupráci s Aerofilms. Americký hit Moonlight, který letos zabodoval i na Zlatých glóbech, tak můžete vidět v pražské předpremiéře!
Nadčasový příběh dospívání a hledání sebe sama je zasazený do drsných kulis okrajových čtvrtí Miami. Mladý Chiron bojuje o svoje místo v prostředí, ve kterém často rozhoduje právo silnějšího, zatímco jeho vnitřní svět se plní láskou, bolestí i touhou. Moonlight zachycuje univerzální témata přátelství a sexuální identity ve třech různých životních etapách od dětství až po dospělost. Je zároveň portrétem mladého člověka, současných amerických předměstí i nepostřehnutelných sil, které formují lidské životy.
Ve svém druhém celovečerním filmu se režisér Barry Jenkins pouští do důsledné studie afro‑americké maskulinity a vypráví silný příběh o hledání a vymezování vlastní identity. Do role Chirona obsadil vycházející hvězdu Ashtona Sanderse, ve vedlejších rolích můžete vidět Mahershalu Aliho (seriály Výjimeční, Dům z karet) nebo zpěvačku Janelle Monáe.
