From Friday, November 14 to November 21, the 26th edition of the Mezipatra Queer Film Festival will take place in Brno! After a successful start in Prague, the festival is heading to Brno, where this year’s screenings will be held at Kino Art, Kino Scala, CIT, and the Television Institute.

Opening Ceremony at Kino Art

We’re screening the Brazilian crime comedy Toll

When Suellen runs out of money, she returns to her toxic ex. As a single mother working at a toll booth, she can hardly save anything, and on top of that, she worries about her son’s femininity. She wants to send him to conversion therapy and hopes for miracles. But can she handle a partner with violent tendencies? A brutally funny and absurd Portuguese-Brazilian drama awarded at festivals around the world.
