Prague leg of queer film festival Mezipatra begins with Ginsberg biopic

The Prague leg of the Mezipatra Queer Film Festival got underway on Thursday night with the screening at the city’s Lucerna cinema of Howl, a biopic about the gay poet Allen Ginsberg. The festival, which is now in its 11th year, will show more than 70 films over six days in the capital, before slimmed-down versions are held in other cities including Ostrava and Plzeň. The first leg took place in Brno.
