Bergen pride

All set for Bergen Pride

485x181_logo_white In just a few days this years Bergen Pride  is starting, and we hope everybody joins us at the opening  Saturday May 31st 18.00  at Kvarteret! After the formal opening there will be beautiful singing by the  queer womens choir Sapfonia, and then there will be a debate on aid policy and lgbt. All political parties are represented, so we hope for a good debate!

On Sunday June 1st  Skråblikk is finaly have our first screening, and we start off with the Russian production Moonlight People with a following Q & A with the director and writer Ekaterina Polyanskaya and prod asssistant Ingwarr Timor. The project is dedicated to reflect the realities of a life in Russia, where homosexuals have to deal with rejection of others on a daily basis and literally survive to prove their right to exist.The series does not intend to criticize the Russian government, but intend to destroy or at least shake society stereotypes about homosexuals. The filmmakers hope is that their projects will be “anti-propaganda” of homosexuality. Being gay is not an attempt to follow the fashion

Watch the trailer:

The screening starts 20.00, and the movie is texted in English and the Q & A will be translated from Russian to Norwegian.  Tickets: NOK 80,- or NOK 60,- if you’re a member of LLH.

See you at Kvarteret!
