Kyiv International Queer Film Fest

Address

  • Kyiv
  • Ukraine

"Queer Film Fest: right for equality and diversity" is the festival of films with LGBT themes, is international and will be held in Kyiv and other regions of Ukraine once a year. With the aid of Film we are going to attract the attention of Ukrainian society to human rights violation and other current problems of LGBT community and to overcome stereotypes about LGBT people.

Since independence, Ukraine a step not moved to meet the rights of its citizens who are homosexual orientation. There are frequent cases of discrimination, violence and aggression against the representatives of the LGBT community. Usually it is the result of ignorance of the public on this issue. The public is afraid of what she does not understand.

Our cultural event we aim to raise public awareness by showing films that works touched or fully show LGBT life in Ukraine and abroad. This will allow us to begin a dialogue with society on LGBT rights as fundamental human rights.

Film works as a tool to help debunk the myths and overcome stereotypes that impede the development of the LGBT community in Ukraine, to promote understanding of public observance of equal importance with other members of society the rights and the spread of ideas and values of democracy in Ukraine.

Queer Film Fest will make a valuable contribution to the cultural development of the Ukrainian LGBT movement.
