WARM FILM
by Dragan Jovićević
Country: Serbia
Year: 2024
Duration: 91'


2 cis-het actors who have to interpret a gay couple decide to prepare for the role by exploring the history of Serbian cinema, looking for representation of queerness and homosexuality. This narrative device results in a passionate journey that examines how media representation can shape social perception in a country that is still very homophobic, by showing offensive stereotypes and naive portrayals, but also by incredibly sensitive and modern representations. A brave, militant movie - cinema-loving and proudly punk.
