Cherry Pop Festival

Cherry Pop Festival Sex is communication, and Cherry Pop is a space for conversation. Let’s talk!

🍒 The Cherry Pop Festival promotes open dialogue about the phenomenon of human sexuality in all its aspects. It merges the context of art, education, and discursive content through film and the accompanying program. The festival includes a short film competition and an interdisciplinary academic and discussion program, the Pan-Erotikum.

🎥 The Festival's second edition explores the relationship be

tween sexuality and work. It showcases the world through the eyes of sexual workers but also examines the artistic exploration of the physical and sensual aspects of sexuality and work.

🎞️ The Festival will be held from 16th-18th November 2023 in Dokukino KIC and Pogon in Zagreb.

The Cherry Pop Festival promotes open dialogue about the phenomenon of human s*xuality in all its aspects. It merges the context of art, education, and discursive content through film and the accompanying program. The festival includes a short film competition and an interdisciplinary academic and discussion program, the Pan-Erotikum.

The Festival aims to capture the attention of audiences by not shying away from intimacy and sensuality on screen because intimacy and sensuality are among a few topics that remain taboo in "polite" society, especially here in Croatia.

The 5th edition of Cherry Pop Festival will take place from October 22nd to 24th, in the Dokukino KIC in Zagreb, Croatia.

Come and check it out on Saturday at 19:30 in Small Hall of Cinema Edison
Entrance is completely free, but we have limited seating capacity so get your reservation by emailing your full name to us [email protected]

The 9th edition of FUSE is waiting for you in Croatia, Karlovac from 5th to 7th June.

Festival Cherry Pop potiče otvoreni dijalog o fenomenu ljudske seksualnosti u svim njegovim aspektima. Spaja kontekst umjetnosti, obrazovanja i diskurzivnog sadržaja kroz film i prateći program. Festival uključuje natjecanje kratkih filmova i interdisciplinarni akademski i diskusijski program, Pan-Erotikum.

Cilj festivala je privući pozornost publike ne izbjegavajući intimnost i senzualnost na ekranu jer su intimnost i senzualnost među rijetkim temama koje ostaju tabu u "uljudnom" društvu, posebno ovdje u Hrvatskoj.

5. izdanje Festivala Cherry Pop održat će se od 22. do 24. listopada u Dokukinu KIC u Zagrebu.

Dođite i uvjerite se u subotu u 19:30 u Maloj dvorani kina Edison.

Ulaz je potpuno besplatan no imamo ograničen broj mjesta stoga napravite svoju rezervaciju tako da nam pošaljete mail sa svojim punim imenom i prezimenom na [email protected]

Deveto izdanje FUSE-a očekuje vas u Karlovcu 5.-7. lipanja

🍒 Cherry Pop UP: Kvartovska intima - nekoliko dana, jedan kvart i puno razgovora koji su se napokon dogodili naglas.

Krenuli smo s projekcijom "F**k-a-Fan" i tribinom o seksualnosti uz Gorana Koletića i Karlu Horvat-Crnogaj te" moderaciju Jerka Stjepanovića. Nastavili smo uz "Es**rt" i "Gangster te voli", kroz projekcije i diskusije s Nikicom Gilićem, Marijem Kozinom, Krešimirom Košutićem i Ivanom Schildenfeld, uz moderacije Tina Bačuna i Ive Rosandić.

Završna večer okupila nas je oko tijela i pogleda, kroz performans "Bodies for rent, Souls on hold" ( Ela Kupres Đorđević, Robert Janđel) i diskusiji o "Haloa – praznik kurvi" uz Željka Luketića i Tanju Vrvilo te moderaciju Silvestra Milete.

Na Žitnjaku smo se susreli drugačije: kroz radionice, hranu, druženje i koncert Martina Ladike & Roka Margete. Bez distance, bliže jedni drugima.

Kvart kao prostor susreta. Publika kao sudionici.

Hvala svima koji su bili dio ove male, ali važne zajednice 💬🍒

🍒 Što se događa s intimnošću kada tijelo postane posao?
Prije finalne projekcije, Cherry Pop UP kroz plesni perfomans "Bodies for rent, Souls on hold" donosi priču o dvoje cimera koji dijele isti posao - prostituciju.

💃🏻 Ona je naučila živjeti s tim - posao kao i svaki drugi, rutina bez puno pitanja.
🕺🏻 On je pokušavao ignorirati, gurati dalje… ali neke stvari te na kraju sustignu.
Dok ona opstaje, on se polako raspada.

Ovu priču ispričat će vam kroz pokret Ela Kupres Đorđević i Robert Janđel.

🍒 Danas ne propustite projekciju filma "Gangster te voli", koji predstavlja duhovitu i preciznu društvenu dijagnozu koja je danas aktualnija nego ikad.

🎬 Više od deset godina nakon pozitivnih reakcija na film Gangster te voli (2013) Nebojše Slijepčevića i na valu recentnih redateljevih uspjeha u obradi društveno relevantnih, traumatičnih i duboko polarizirajućih tema, nasljeđe Gangstera sagledat ćemo u kontekstu suvremenog razumijevanja intimnih odnosa i društvenog okvira unutar kojeg se odvijaju.

💬 U razgovoru s filmskim kritičarem Krešimirom Košutićem i komunikologinjom i edukanticom integrativne psihoterapije Ivanom Schildenfeld, film ćemo, osim iz filmološko-kritičke perspektive i relacija spram srodnih filmova vremena, problematizirati u odnosu na do krajnosti dovedene fenomene virtualnih poznanstava, pandemije usamljenosti i razaranja tradicionalnih društvenih veza bez osmišljene alternative.

Razgovor moderira filmska kritičarka i kustosica Iva Rosandić.

📍 MO Bruno Bušić
⏰ 18:00
🎟️ Besplatno

Vidimo se u kvartu!

Program se odvija u suradnji s Centar kulture na Peščenici - KNAP , Hrvatsko društvo filmskih kritičara i Mjesni odbor "Bruno Bušić" .

🍒 The cherries have been picked!
This year’s Sweet Cherries competition brought 15 short films exploring identity, intimacy, and self-expression, and last night our amazing jury has spoken.

🏆 Sweet Cherry Award 2025
UNLEADED 95 by Tina Emy Muffler & Emma Hütt

“A film of sprawling aspirations, pure s*x and youthful energy. Visually explosive, narratively daring, a wild, wild ride with complex characters and relentless momentum. The queerest of them all.”

💬 Special Mention
F**K-A-FAN by Muriel d’Ansembourg

“A tender story about the steamiest s*x performer and her avid fan, whose fantasy quickly goes off-script. With its grip on irony and dizzying warmth, it transcends the set-up and wins us over with its relevance.”

💬 Special Mention
BLIND DATE 4.0 by Jan Soldat

“There have been many dates shown on film, none so subversively close to reality. A delightful documentary that provokes with its earnestness, proving that bold filmmaking can still respect the dignity of its protagonists.”

❤️ Huge thanks to all filmmakers for sharing their stories, and to our jury, Anja Koprivšek, Miro Frakić, and Dan Sokoli, for their insight, passion, and love of cinema.
