Mezipatra is now over a quarter of a century old. In 25 years, it has become the largest queer film festival in Central and Eastern Europe, holding an unwavering place on the Czech cultural scene and beyond. I am honored to now stand at its helm and to continue contributing to its growth.

This year, Mezipatra presents a total of 26 feature films and 49 short films. Ten feature films will compete in the international competition, awarded by the main jury. The student jury will select the best short film. And as usual, the winner of the audience award will be decided by you, the viewers.
