Movie "Parada" in Berlin
May 25 2012
On 24 May, the movie "Parada" by Serbian filmmaker Srdjan Dragojevic was shown in Berlin, Germany.
Just as "pride-season" is about to start in capitals and cities all over the world, Germany's Human Rights Commissioner Markus Löning invited the audience to watch this extraordinary movie about the first gay pride parade in Belgrade and the riots accompanying the event.
Although the film deals with the sensitive issue of LGBT-rights, it attracted 350,000 viewers in Serbian cinemas in first 11 weeks of distribution. It also won the Panorama Audience Award at the Berlin Film Festival 2012. (Webiste in English: http://filmparada.com/EN/index.php)
