Hi All!
Welcome to
G Spot, where you can learn more about the gendered Budapest. In my section I bring you info on
gender, sexuality in general and on some current events happening in Budapest related to these topics.
I will start by telling all
of you about the LGBTQ film festival coming up between Oct. 26th and
Nov. 3rd (LGBTQ stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual Queer.
If you want to know more about these sexual orientations go watch the awesome
YouTube videos linked below). The Budapest Pride film festival first took place
in 1993 under the name Hungarian Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and was held at
the Toldi Theater, as it is this year as well.
The
festival is celebrating it’s 18th anniversary this year in Budapest – symbolizing its coming of age –
and will be held at three locations: Toldi Cinema, Hátsó Kapu (Back Door) and
Művész Cinema. This year it is hosted separately from the Budapest Pride
festival because 1: more people can attend this way, not having to choose
between events and 2: because this way LGBTQ events can be held year-round.
Also expanding the film festival allows the attraction of a wider audience – so
hope to see you all there!
You can
find the detailed program here: http://2013.budapestpride.com/ff/events/calendar
On
locations: Toldi Cinema is located in the 5th district at
Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út 36-38.
Művész Cinema can be found in the 6th
district at Teréz körút 30.
And last but not least Hátsó Kapu is
located in the 7th district at Dohány utca 13.

discounts.
