Merlinka festival

Two young actors are exploring the topic of representation of LGBTI people through the history of Yugoslav cinema and social circumstances that have resulted in different treatment of these characters.

Serbia in the late 1990s. Prison cell. Vjeran, a Belgrade transvestite arrested for prostitution. Nikola, a political prisoner and organizer of demonstrations against the regime of Slobodan Milosevic.

A group of LGBT people in committed relationships fantasize about their wedding day in a country where same-sex marriage is banned by the constitution.

A film about parenthood, relationship between parents and children, relationship between parents and LGBT.

Movie was conducted by interviewing 10 people who are talking about their coming out experience. Focus is on emotions these LGBT people had in their coming out process. Fear, anticipation, rejection, confusion, hugs.
