Help the festival Stay on the Scene

After the Ministry of Culture stopped funding LGBTI+ projects and human-rights-focused events, the future of Slovakia’s only queer film festival has become uncertain. Although the Slovak Queer Film Festival (FFi) was ranked third-best project in its category by the expert committee of the Audiovisual Fund (AVF), its support was rejected without relevant justification. After seven consecutive years of continuous funding, AVF will therefore no longer be among the festival’s partners.

Yet the Slovak Queer Film Festival continues to bring stories that change minds, offering strength and encouragement to those who sometimes lose hope and seek understanding. For nineteen years, the festival has been an organic part of Slovakia’s cultural landscape — showcasing the best of queer cinema from around the world and at home, opening important discussions, and nurturing a community that celebrates diversity.

To ensure the festival can continue to exist safely and with dignity, public support is now crucial.
You, too, can help FFi stay on the scene.

Every contribution helps ensure that queer people remain represented on the big screen — that they can continue to speak, be seen, and stay visible in times when some would prefer to erase them.
