This year, we're teaming up with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Prague for Focus Taiwan, a programme section dedicated to contemporary Taiwanese queer cinema. Here, director Su Hui-Yu talks about The Trio Hall, a feature film he shot inside a museum, right in front of its visitors. This interview offers a little preview of the printed Mezi zine, available during the festival.
This year, Mezipatra Queer Film Festival will once again welcome film professionals and artists from around the globe. Prague audiences can look forward to meeting Belgian screenwriter Angelo Tijssens, Taiwanese director Su Hui-yu, and other filmmakers who will personally introduce their films.
Where can we discover queer stories today, and how is the way they are told changing? This year, the Queering the Industry accompanying program will take us across the audiovisual landscape – from film and literature to gaming and virtual reality, which you can experience at the festival for the very first time.
You can come of age at any age. This year's Mezipatra invites you to discover queer stories of first loves and life changes that come long after turning eighteen. The festival's 27th edition runs in Prague from 5 to 12 November and in Brno from 13 to 20 November. What can you look forward to?
Mezipatra is returning for its 27th edition this year, with a new visual identity. Its central motif is a constellation of stars, symbolizing hope that can shine even in difficult times.
🗓 October 14 at 6:30 PM | 📍 Atrium Žižkov | 🎟 Free admission
This year’s festival comes with a starry new visual identity — and a brand-new festival trailer to go with it. Be the first to see it at the premiere at Atrium Žižkov. The trailer was directed by young filmmaker Eliška Lubojatzká, who is also part of this year’s programming team.
You can also look forward to welcome drinks by Absolut and a quiz with prizes. You can even win festival passes, which will be on sale.
Come grab a drink, meet up, and get in the mood for the 27th edition of Mezipatra!

On Friday, 21 November, Kino Art hosted the closing ceremony of the 26th Queer Film Festival Mezipatra, during which the traditional Audience Award for Best Film was presented. As every year, audiences could vote after each screening — a score of one for a film they loved, five for one that resonated less. After counting and averaging all votes, the winner was clear.
