The main competition of Mezipatra Queer Film Festival will introduce ten feature films. Six of the films competing for the prize of the international jury were directed by women. One of them is the French director Catherine Corsini and her harsh social drama, The Divide (Le Fracture), about a couple whose mishap leads them to the emergency room of a Paris hospital during the Yellow Vests protests. 

It's finally here! Mezipatra published the PROGRAM for their 22nd edition. This year's theme is to Celebrate Life - in all its forms regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or age.

Mezipatra QFF celebrates life! The 22nd edition of the festival will showcase films that celebrate life at any age and the diversity of queer identity. We invite you to the Petrohradská Cinema(Petrohradská 13/438, Praha 10) on October 14 at 6:00 PM, where we will premiere the festival trailer directed by Štěpán FOK Vodrážka. During the evening, we will also present this year’s program of the festival. Join us to know which films you simply cannot miss! DJ Ncol will accompany you throughout the evening. Up-to-date info in the FB event.

The winner of Teddy Award from Berlinale and the absolute winner of last year's Mezipatra, the film No Hard Feelings is heading to Czech cinemas. We invite you to the premiere of this bold debut of Faraz Shariat, which will take place on Wednesday, October 6, in the Pilotů cinema in Vršovice. There is screening from 6:30 PM and screening from 7:00 PM , both English-friendly. Don't wait any longer to buy your ticket! You can also find up-to-date information on the Facebook event. After the screening, feel free to join us for a little after-party with music just around the corner in Patra (Krymská 17, Praha 10). Everyone with a film ticket gets a free welcome drink!

During the Prague Pride festival on August 2–⁠6, 2021, we will present a program called Identity in the City. In the pleasant environment of the Kasárna Karlín, you will be able to attend evening screenings and take part in debates on current queer topics. If necessary, the screening is moved from the Summer Cinema to the Garages, so we won't be stopped even by bad weather! Admission to discussions is free, for films voluntary.

We invite you to the screening of The 34th: The Story of Marriage Equality in Ireland, which we are co-organizing with the Embassy of Ireland. The screening of Linda Cullen & Vanessa Gildea's engaging documentary will take place on July 21 at 9:30 PM in a beautiful summer cinema in the Kinsky Garden. The film will be introduced by Czeslaw Walek from the Jsme fér (We Are Fair) initiative, which strives for marriage equality in the Czech Republic, and a representative from the Embassy of Ireland. You can buy tickets for CZK 99 directly on the spot and there is no need for booking (there are plenty of seats).

After a long break, the cinemas are finally reopening. With our Queer Kino distribution brand, we have decided to launch the new season with the dynamic Cocoon by the German director Leonie Krippendorff. You might have already seen an online screening of this film during last year’s Mezipatra festival. And now, the first opportunity for a true cinema experience is finally here.
