🌈 Queer on Screen: From Shadows to Voice

This lecture kicks off a series of film screenings dedicated to how queer themes have been reflected in the cinema of the former Yugoslav countries from 1967 to the present day.
We will journey from hints and satire — through the visual audacities of the 'Black Wave,' to the emergence of the first open images and the Merlinka Festival in 2009, and onwards — to contemporary cinema, where the queer agenda is already loud, yet still provocative.
This is a conversation about queer themes in cinema as a language of otherness, about the body as a political gesture, and about those who have been behind the scenes for too long.
