Best of Mezipatra 2025 and fresh films from V4

A selection of the best from last year’s Mezipatra and two new short films from the Visegrad countries shows the diversity of queer experiences across the region. It brings the perspective of a young generation of authors who sensitively, courageously and authentically capture the lives of queer people.

A Cappella is a fresh look at the relationship of an older couple that flourishes in private but remains secret in public and captivates with the bittersweet chemistry of the two lovers.

Good Boy from Slovakia presents painter Andrej Dúbravský, who uses his art to protest against censorship and hateful speech—not only in Slovak culture.

I Kiss your Hand Madame shows the life of a trans woman for whom no obstacle in Hungary has been insurmountable, when her 11-year-old son cheers her on.

I Bring You Tidings humorously tackles the topic of coming out during a Christmas Eve dinner.
