Warm Film (Template:Langx, Topli film) is a 2024 Serbian documentary directed by Dragan Jovićević starring Đorđe Galić and Đorđe Mišina.[1] The film explores the representation of LGBTI people through the history of Yugoslav cinema and the social circumstances that have influenced the portrayal of these characters.[2]
The film had its world premiere at the 2024 Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival[3] and national premiere at 2024 Beldocs festival in Belgrade.[4]
Film has been produced by Pogon, Greifer and Merlinka festival.
Plot[edit]
Two young actors, Đorđe Mišina and Đorđe Galić, delve into the history of Yugoslav cinema to explore the representation of LGBTI characters. The documentary examines how social and political changes have influenced the portrayal of queer identities on screen, and includes interviews with prominent filmmakers and actors who have contributed to or been affected by these representations.
Production[edit]
The idea for the film came from Predrag Azdejković[5], a longtime organizer of the Merlinka Queer Film Festival, due to the constant lack of Serbian queer films at the festival. His friend and colleague Dragan Jovićević wrote the screenplay. Producer Nataša Pavlović joined the project, and the film was financially supported by the Film Center of Serbia. The film was produced over a period of six years, using a combination of archival footage and contemporary interviews, providing a comprehensive look at the subject matter.[6]
