BEAST INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 27.09 — 01.10.2023

How to care for Cosmos

Something happens when we look at or think about something as a flower that was attributed the same name to what we perceive to be everything - the universe. To seed, to care, to grow for cosmos is not only one of the main questions in internet search engines, but also an almost too accurate metaphor for life. A gesture of launching or cultivating seeds that could lead to the continuous collective growth for a better - urgent - care of all (this everything we are, together). This year the festival presents a cinematic journey through the tapestry of emotions and perspectives from a collection of films from SUNNY BUNNY — the first Ukrainian LGBTQIA+ film festival, and FFi Slovak Queer Film Festival — celebrating its 16th edition this year.
