Orgasm Chronicle - Can Homosexuality Be Cured?

Kateřina Kořínková Sobotková / Czech Republic / 2022 / The film already had its Czech Premiere / 15 min.


synopsis

Czech gay males and lesbians were already advocating for their rights in the First Republic (1918–1938). In 1961, the criminalization of homosexuality was abolished. Following this milestone, however, the issue remained a grey area within the context of progressive European legislation and was never discussed.
One of four episodes of the Orgasm Chronicle filmed for Czech Television's online iVysílání segment.
