Merlinka Award for Best Queer Film at FEST As in

Merlinka Award for Best Queer Film at FEST

As in previous years, the Merlinka International Queer Film Festival presents its award for the Best Queer Film screened at FEST. This year, the award goes to the Brazilian film Gugu's World (Feito Pipa), directed by Allan Deberton.

Through a tender and moving story about a boy growing up with his grandmother, the one person who accepts him unconditionally, the film reminds us how essential love, understanding, and support are to every child's development.

Rather than portraying queer identity solely through discrimination and suffering, Gugu's World celebrates authenticity, freedom of expression, and the courage to be oneself, even in a world that is not always accepting.

The Merlinka Award is presented to this film for its warmth, sincerity, and powerful message that every child deserves to grow up in a world where they do not have to give up who they are in order to be loved.

MERLINKA NAGRADA ZA NAJBOLJI KVIR FILM NA FESTU

Kao i već godinama unazad, Merlinka festival dodeljuje nagradu za najbolji kvir film prikazan na FEST-u. Ove godine nagrada pripada brazilskom filmu Guguov sveta (Feito Pipa), reditelja Alana Debertona.

Kroz nežnu i emotivnu priču o dečaku koji odrasta uz baku, jedinu osobu koja ga bezuslovno prihvata, film nas podseća koliko su ljubav, razumevanje i podrška važni u odrastanju svakog deteta. Umesto da kvir identitet prikazuje isključivo kroz prizmu diskriminacije i patnje, „Guguov svet“ slavi autentičnost, slobodu izražavanja i hrabrost da budemo ono što jesmo, čak i kada nas okruženje ne prihvata.

Merlinka nagradu dodeljujemo ovom filmu zbog njegove topline, iskrenosti i snažne poruke da svako dete zaslužuje da odrasta u svetu u kojem ne mora da se odriče sebe da bi bilo voljeno.

Yayoi Kusama, one of the most extraordinary and in

Yayoi Kusama, one of the most extraordinary and influential artists of our time, has died at the age of 97.

Known around the world for her polka dots, pumpkins and mesmerizing Infinity Mirror Rooms, Kusama transformed fear, obsession and deeply personal experiences into a visual universe unlike anyone else’s.

Less often discussed is another part of her story: Kusama described herself as asexual and spoke openly about her lifelong aversion to sex. Her only known long-term romantic relationship, with artist Joseph Cornell, was largely platonic. Paradoxically, sexuality became one of the recurring themes of her work — from her famous soft phallic sculptures to the provocative happenings she staged in New York in the 1960s. She described repeatedly creating phallic forms as a way of confronting and transforming her fear of sex.

At the same time, Kusama was remarkably progressive about sexual freedom. In 1968, she staged what has been described as New York’s first “homosexual wedding” and used her performances to challenge conventional ideas about sexuality, the body and love.

An asexual woman whose art was filled with sexual imagery. A Japanese woman who became a central figure of the New York avant-garde. An outsider who eventually became one of the most recognizable artists on the planet.

Yayoi Kusama spent more than seven decades turning her inner world into art — and continued painting until her final days.

Rest in infinity, Yayoi Kusama. 1929–2026. ♾️

Farewell to Tim Curry, a true icon of queer cinema

Farewell to Tim Curry, a true icon of queer cinema. 🖤

With his unforgettable performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in *The Rocky Horror Picture Show*, Curry created something far greater than a cult movie character. He gave generations of queer people an image of radical freedom, sexual liberation, camp, gender nonconformity and the exhilarating possibility of simply refusing to fit in.

When *Rocky Horror* arrived in 1975, seeing a character like Frank-N-Furter on screen was revolutionary. Bold, seductive, outrageous and unapologetic, Curry’s performance challenged ideas about gender and sexuality at a time when LGBTQ+ visibility in mainstream cinema was still extremely rare.

Over the decades, *Rocky Horror* became more than a film. Its midnight screenings became gathering places where generations of LGBTQ+ people could dress differently, experiment with gender, find community and, sometimes, discover themselves.

Tim Curry once said that Frank-N-Furter “gave a lot of teenagers permission to be different.” That may be the greatest description of his legacy.

Cinema will remember an extraordinary actor. Queer culture will remember the man who helped teach generations not just to dream it — but to be it.

Rest in power, Tim Curry.
1946–2026 🖤🏳️‍🌈

Film Bulzaj, u režiji Petra Lakića, osvojio je specijalnu nagradu na ovogodišnjem 16. Merlinka festivalu. Ovaj srpski kratki film iz 2024. godine prati Mateju, mladića koji počinje da sanja svog najboljeg prijatelja u ulozi S&M bika. Suočen sa sopstvenim osećanjima i unutrašnjim sukobima, Mateja pokušava da mu prizna istinu.

Specijalna nagrada: Topli film (režija: Dragan Jovićević) @drjovicevic @misina_djordje @dordegalic @tosamjainikodrugi
Specijalna nagrada dodeljena je filmu Topli film zbog njegovog inovativnog pristupa temi queer reprezentacije u jugoslovenskoj kinematografiji. Kroz autentično istraživanje i introspektivno putovanje glavnih protagonista, film podseća na ulogu umetnosti u razbijanju stigmi i otvara prostor za nova, važna pitanja o slobodi izražavanja i prihvatanju.
