A participatory filmmaking workshop was launched in May, jointly organised by the Control Studio Film Association and Labrisz, using the Labrisz archive, as a continuation of last year's historical-art exhibition Labrisz 25 -- Lesbian Herstory in Hungary. It will be presented at the Ördögkatlan Festival on 2 August at 16h. The screening will be followed by an informal professional discussion with Gábor Rumann and Réka Szűcs, the organisers. The film programme will be rounded off by a site-specific pop-up exhibition. In other words, we will build an installation from the exhibition material in a very special location in the "tower" of the Bölcsész courtyard. For the duration of the festival, the tower will become the "sanctuary" of the former Budapest Lesbian Film Committee (2000-2006).

Labrisz Picnic
This year’s Pride is a special one — not only because it marks the 30th anniversary of Budapest Pride, but also because the government has officially banned public Pride events. Naturally, we’ll be there no matter what! In line with tradition — but with added festivity this year — we’re holding the Labrisz Picnic the day after the Pride March, and we warmly welcome all the girls (and non-binary babes) to join us! Come hang out, chat, and play with us again on June 29th from 3 PM on Margaret Island! Location: Budapest, Margaret Island (the first big meadow after the former Holdudvar) — from the “Parkmozi” stop of bus 26, walk toward the Pest side and Árpád Bridge. You’ll find us in just 2 minutes, under a big shady tree at the edge of the meadow. 47,523988, 19,047649 This event is the part of the 30th Budapest Pride Festival.

Labrisz – the beginnings
In 1996, a few lesbian women decided to create a meeting place and representation (which had been almost absent until then) for lesbian and bisexual women in Hungary. They published an unofficial, photocopied magazine called Labrisz, which ran for four issues. The name was inspired by the Belgrade-based Labris, with which several people had friendly and romantic ties :-) ...
