Another Cherry Pop in the books!

Relive the films, the conversations, the winners, and everything in between.
CHERRY POP UP: NEIGHBOURHOOD INTIMACY
What happens when art, film, and neighbors sit down at the same table and decide to talk about intimacy? The answer came through the program Cherry Pop UP: Neighborhood Intimacy, a new initiative that took place from April 2nd to 18th. Through it, Cherry Pop expanded from the city center straight into Zagreb’s neighborhoods, among people, into everyday life.
All activities were free and open to the public, with a focus on creating a safe, inclusive space for conversation and the exchange of experiences..
ABOUT CHERRY POP FESTIVAL
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 fourth edition explored identity, sexuality, and inclusivity, creating a space where women and marginalized groups can embrace their bodies and desires freely, free from stigma.
The 5th edition of Cherry Pop Festival will take place from October 22nd to 25th, in the Dokukino KIC in Zagreb, Croatia.
Sex is communication, and Cherry Pop is a space for conversation. Let’s talk!
