Two young Serbian actors get an offer to play in a gay movie with daring sex scenes. They are torn between the need to make a living and be famous and the fear of being notoriously labelled. The two begin to research how this subject was treated throughout the history of Serbian, and before that, Yugoslavian, cinema. What was the meaning of queer representation on screen?
“Warm Film” is a fascinating and surprising journey through the history of queer cinema in Yugoslavia and post-Yugoslavia region, from the days of the silent movie to the present, especially given the modern rise of nationalism and LGBTphobia in Eastern Europe.

Two of the films discussed in “Warm Film” will be screened during the TLVFest: “Life and Death of a Porno Gang” (2009) and “Marble Ass” (1995).
