During the Prague Pride festival on August 2–6, 2021, we will present a program called Identity in the City. In the pleasant environment of the Kasárna Karlín, you will be able to attend evening screenings and take part in debates on current queer topics. If necessary, the screening is moved from the Summer Cinema to the Garages, so we won't be stopped even by bad weather! Admission to discussions is free, for films voluntary.
We invite you to the screening of The 34th: The Story of Marriage Equality in Ireland, which we are co-organizing with the Embassy of Ireland. The screening of Linda Cullen & Vanessa Gildea's engaging documentary will take place on July 21 at 9:30 PM in a beautiful summer cinema in the Kinsky Garden. The film will be introduced by Czeslaw Walek from the Jsme fér (We Are Fair) initiative, which strives for marriage equality in the Czech Republic, and a representative from the Embassy of Ireland. You can buy tickets for CZK 99 directly on the spot and there is no need for booking (there are plenty of seats).
After a long break, the cinemas are finally reopening. With our Queer Kino distribution brand, we have decided to launch the new season with the dynamic Cocoon by the German director Leonie Krippendorff. You might have already seen an online screening of this film during last year’s Mezipatra festival. And now, the first opportunity for a true cinema experience is finally here.

A bit non-traditionally, the Q&A for the One in a Thousand didn’t feature the director, Clarisa Navas, but the three main protagonists. But it was certainly worth it because during the shooting, a strong bond of a big close-knit family developed among the actors, the director and the whole crew. Watch the recording of the interview with Ana Carolina García, Mau Vila and Luis Molina.
The creation of a film is rarely accompanied by such a strong story as Make Up by British director Claire Oakley. Its main protagonist is nineteen-year-old Ruth who is about to spend a romantic summer with her boyfriend in a caravan camp at a coast in South England. But instead of days filled with sunshine, there comes the suspicion of her boyfriend’s cheating and Ruth becomes obsessed. In the labyrinth of campervans and relationships, she feels lost and starts discovering her true identity.
