European 2024

The Life and Death of a Porno Gang

Winner of the Best Film award at the 2010 TLVFest, this is one of the most powerful films you’ll see this year.
Director Mladen Djordjevic created a biting commentary on post Milosevic Serbia. This film brings together horror, social and political satire, dark humour and lots of sex and violence.

Local criminals hire Marko, a young, artistic and ambitious filmmaker, to make for them porno films. They don’t really appreciate his artistic approach, and after a violent attack, Marko decides to go underground and travel with a troupe of outcasts who participate in a live pornographic theatre production that travels through conservative Serbian villages.
Warning! Not suitable for the faint of heart!

Viewing is 18+ due to explicit sexual content and violence.

.
Two more Serbian LGBT movies are screened at the festival.

Marble Ass

The groundbreaking creation of director Želimir Žilnik will celebrate its 30th anniversary this coming February and this is a rare opportunity to discover it.

With the war in Bosnia and political upheavals in the background, Merlin and Sanela, two trans friends and sex workers, share a house in the suburbs of Belgrad. Johnny returns from the war with PTSD, questionable friends & a tendency for petty crime. Will those three manage to establish a stable household?

Unusual by its humanistic approach to queer characters, an achievement that wasn’t repeated in the Eastern-European cinema for many years to come, this movie was at first conceived as a documentary. In the main role of Merlin, loosely based on her own life, shines Merlinka (Vjeran) Miladinović. After her tragic death in 2003, Serbian LGBT Film Festival was named in her honour – Merlinka.

Young Hearts

In the middle of the school year, 13 year old Elias meets his new neighbor, 14 year old Alexander, a confident boy from Brussels. The two boys enjoy their time together, and as their relationship deepens – Elias develops new feelings. He realizes he is falling in love for the first time. The fear of how his family and the people around him will react makes him keep his feelings to himself and he sinks deeper and deeper into a web of lies that threatens to destroy the beautiful connection between him and his new friend.
Anthony Schatteman’s debut film was one of more pleasant surprises at the latest Berlinale. The Belgian director won praises for his sensitive and intelligent film and is marked as one of the promising voices in contemporary European cinema.

Sexy Shorts Mix

A unique and different program – a mix of films that deal with sexuality in a bold and, some might even say, pornographic manner and horror trash movies such as exploitation genre films. The result is a surprising and amusing combination of blood, horror and sex. If you’re looking for short films with plenty of queer sexuality, sexy horror and fun – this is the place for you.

Duration: 85 min

Warm Film

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).
