Moderatorin: Saša Šavel Burkart

Summary: LGBT_SLO_1984 (SI 2022. Boris Petković).

Description: It began in 1984 and it still goes on today. 35 years of the LGBT movement in Slovenia through the prism of activism and culture. In 1984, the first edition of Magnus Festival – Homosexuality and Culture took place at the alternative gallery ŠKUC in Ljubljana. It was a watershed event of the Slovenian LGBT movement and the beginning of the LGBT Film Festival, which is considered the oldest such film festival in Europe and takes place every year at the Hall of the Slovenian Cinematheque in Ljubljana. The first years of the Slovenian LGBT movement were characterised by intense club happening (the only of its kind in former Yugoslavia) and the organisation of events and festivals. The Slovenian LGBT movement has thus gone down in history as one of the most progressive movements of its time, one that is still active today in different forms.

The screening will be followed by a talk with guests.
