Directed by Srdjan Dragojević, Serbia, 2011 A group of gay activists in Belgrade strikes a tense alliance with Limun, a Serbian crime boss, whose fiancée demands an extravagant wedding that only struggling gay theater director Mirko and his friends can provide. In exchange, macho Limun reluctantly agrees to provide security for the group’s Pride parade. It’s a tall order: Previous attempts to march met with mass violence from rightwing skinheads. When Limun’s gang baulks at the assignment, he recruits a band of former Balkan War combatants, now dear friends, who will stand up to the racists Seven Samurai–style, in this rollickingly shrewd and humane comedic take on a vital human rights issue. Part of the Global Lens 2013 film series, presented by the Global Film Initiative. vimeo/54180727
