Upcoming event: Screening “Parada” at Balkan Trafik! Festival Brussels

On Saturday 25 April at 5.30 PM, the Intergroup on LGBTI rights will host a screening of the film Parada at the Balkan Trafik! Festival in the Center for Fine Arts in Brussels (BOZAR). The screening will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with the director, Srđan Dragojević and Co-President of the Intergroup on LGBTI Rights Ulrike Lunacek MEP.

You can buy your ticket now, which will also give you access to all other events at the festival on the 25th.

Gay-bashing, ethnic divide and the aftermath of civil war are not the easiest subjects to turn into a comedy, but Serbian director Srđan Dragojević manages to do just that with Parada. In the film, a homophobic gangster and an homosexual veterinarian form an unlikely alliance to save the Pride parade in Belgrade.

The film won many awards, including the Serbian film awards (Fipresci Srbija) for the best feature film, as well as the best male role for Nikola Kojo (2011) and the Panorama Audience Award for Fiction Film at the Berlin International Film Festival 2012.
