Mezipatra is a queer film festival organised by civil associations Mezipatra and STUD Brno. Each year it presents around a hundred Czech and foreign films with LGBTQ+ themes and their authors. The films are awarded by an expert jury within a prestigious international competition of international films. Accompanying discussions, lectures, workshops, exhibitions and parties are an integral part of the programme. The main part of the festival takes place in Prague and Brno and the form of echoes in selected Czech cities.
