Filmový festival inakosti má už 15 rokov. Je to vek prvých lások. Je to vek objavovania vlastnej telesnosti, túžob a identity. Je to vek, kedy vám aj spoločnosť dá vedieť formou občianskeho preukazu, že vás berie vážne.
FFi sníva o krajine, kde budú môcť aj LGBTI+ ľudia prežívať prvé lásky a objavovať samých seba bez zbytočného skrývania, obáv či strachu.
FFi prináša filmy, vďaka ktorým môžu diváci a diváčky lepšie spoznať osudy LGBTI+ ľudí a život dúhovej komunity.
Filmová prehliadka chce prostredníctvom filmových príbehov bojovať proti nenávisti a predsudkom. Vytvára zároveň aj bezpečný priestor, kde sa queer ľudia a ich priatelia a priateľky či rodiny môžu stretávať v rešpektujúcej a priateľskej atmosfére.
Už 15. ročník odštartuje v Bratislave 6. októbra v Kine Lumière, kde budú bežať filmy vo viacerých kinosálach do 11. októbra. V pláne sú aj ozveny festivalu v ďalších slovenských mestách.

Spolurežisérka úspešného dokumentu V sieti, Barbora Chalupová, debutuje tragikomickým dokumentárnym roadmovie, v ktorom sleduje cestu zákona, ktorý môže ovplyvniť život státisícov ľudí. „Zákon lásky“ zaistí manželstvo všetkým bez ohľadu na ich sexuálnu orientáciu a podporuje ho väčšina obyvateľov Českej republiky. Komu teda návrh vzbudzujúci vášne a nebývalé emócie vadí? Aký je vlastne rozdiel medzi manželstvom a registrovaným partnerstvom? S napätím sledujeme vypätú výpravu naprieč spoločnosťou, ktorá vedie od zberu petičných podpisov cez televízne hádky až po diskusie na pôde parlamentu smerujúce ku kľúčovému hlasovaniu. Stret progresívnej a konzervatívnej časti obyvateľov ilustrujú politici pri svojich vystúpeniach a exhibíciách. Nevzdelanosť, obavy, strach a neschopnosť urobiť akékoľvek rozhodnutie však nie sú to jediné, čo legislatívnemu prijatiu bráni. Sme naozaj takí liberálni, ako sa prezentujeme? A zvíťazí nakoniec láska nad lžou a nenávisťou? 7. októbra sa v kine Lumière koná premiéra filmu aj za účasti tvorcov a bude spojená aj s diskusiou. Našimi hosťami budú: Barbora Chalupová (réžia) a Martina Štrunc (produkcia). Show more

A box of letters, held in secret for nearly 60 years, ignites a 5-year exploration into a part of LGBT history that has never been told. The letters, written in the 1950s by a group of New York City drag queens, open a window into a forgotten world where being yourself meant breaking the law and where the penalties for “masquerading” as a woman were swift and severe. Using original interviews, never-before-seen archival footage and photographs and stylized recreations, P.S. BURN THIS LETTER PLEASE reconstructs this pre-Stonewall era as Lennie, Robbie, George, Michael, Jim, Henry, Claude, Tish and Terry—former drag queens now in their 80s and 90s—reveal how they survived and somehow flourished at a time when drag queens were both revered and reviled, even within the gay community. The government sought to destroy them, then history tried to erase them, now they get to tell their story for the first time. Show more
