Out of the three films in this section, one stands out as a prime example of the perception question, looked at through the lens of cinema history. Dragan Jovicevic’s docufiction hybrid Warm Film explores the depiction of LGBTQIA+ characters in Yugoslav and Serbian cinema since 1911, while in parallel he has two young, straight actors, exploring their identity by preparing for gay roles. In Gergo Somogyvari’s Fairy Garden, we look at a teen transgender girl through the eyes of an old, homeless, traditional man with whom she shares a ramshackle cabin in the woods. Marginalised by Orban’s society, each in their way, they find support in each other despite superficial differences. Finally, in Klara Tasovska’s I’m Not Everything I Want to Be, the protagonist’s sexual identity has relevance only as long as she has spent her life on the margins, living in and photographing a world of drunks, transvestites and bohemian artists that the communist state pretended did not exist – which is what landed her in trouble, rather than her bisexuality.
