The Czech Gay and Lesbian Film Festival Mezipatra is held annually in Prague and Brno (the second largest city of the Czech Republic). Organizer is the STUD association in Brno (see our
Brno listings).
The first two years 2000 and 2001 were held under the name Duha nad Brnem (The Rainbow over Brno). Since 2002 the festival has been entitled Mezipatra (Between the Storeys). The name not only alludes to the places where people run into each other but epitomises the modern world which is the meeting point of many different cultures, lifestyles and life stages.
The next (11th) festival will be from 4th to 9th of November 2010 in Brno and from 11th to 16th of November 2010 in Prague. Tereza from Mezipatra wrote: 'This year's theme is 'high art' and we mean to challenge the traditional discourses of 'high' and 'low' art. We will screen movies about famous artists who created outside the mainstream art scene and help to move the meaning of art to new levels - e.g. Allen Ginsberg, Keith Harring or Tom de Pekin. We also have movies made by famous British choreaographer Matthew Bourne who transforms classical operas into queer estetics (Car Man instead of Carmen) and each year we provide a retrospective dedicated to works of famous film makers. This year it is Barbara Hammer, an American pioneer of feminist and lesbian cinema.'
Brno: 4th to 9th of November 2010; Prague: 11th to 16th of November 2010
Entrance fees: 2010: Single ticket 100 CZK Ticket for 7 screenings 490 CZK.

Jan wrote in October 2011: Prague Gay Pride 2011. August 2011. This week has been one of the best weeks in my life. I wasn't there from the beginning (Wednesday). I arrived in Prague Friday afternoon. The first thing we did was the Oh My Gay Party. We did the whole program so we started with the party boat. This was one of the most fun things I ever did. We went on the boat and sailed down the Vltava river. Beautiful views from the boat. Great music on the boat and an even greater crowd. After the boat, we went to the 'real' OMG party. Also very very nice. Really recommendable (although I don't think this is only there when there's gay pride. This was, however, the Pride edition). Note: We bought VIP tickets. There were no real advantages (exept for the empty VIP rooms) so I should buy the cheaper normal ticket. The next day was Saturday. Pride day. At first, we didn't dare to go because of the 'haters'. Neo-nazis and other gay haters planned a demonstration right beside the route of the Gay pride. After a while, however, we did join the pride. No regrets. It was awesome to be part of something like this. It's very different than other Pride's I've been like in Amsterdam. This Pride was more like a 'demonstration'. Note: The 'haters' were safe behind the police. The pride ended at an Island. There were held great concerts. Famous Czech artist (I suppose, never heard of them) mostly but they were really nice. Great ambiance, great crowd (again). The night ended with the OMG afterparty. Also very very nice.
Overall, I would recommend this Pride. Not only to have a great time. But also because it's for a really good cause. I always considered Prague as one of the most friendly gay destinations. Behind that 'facade' however, there's a less gay friendly 'base'. To held a Pride and to be part of it is really necessary.
