About

OUTPITCH is a platform designed to uplift and connect emerging queer filmmakers from Central Europe and Ukraine.

Following a successful pilot edition in 2025, we are now launching our second edition, for which we will select 3 new projects through an open call opening in June 2026. The platform provides mentorship, visibility, and cross-border collaboration opportunities for projects exploring queer narratives.

Each selected team will participate in a three-month online mentoring program guided by industry professionals in screenwriting, directing, and producing. The program culminates in a three-day on-site workshop in Prague during the Mezipatra Queer Film Festival, featuring public pitching sessions, one-on-one meetings with industry observers, and open masterclasses.
