Montenegrin first LGBT commercial gets a Grand Prix award!

 

The LGBT Forum Progress and Centre of Civic Education (CCE) are continuously working on enhancing knowledge and understanding of human rights in Montenegro, from various aspects. In that regard, one of the joint project was “U redu je biti drugačiji!” (It is ok to be different!), with the support of the Embassy of Canada.


The project “U redu je biti drugačiji!” aims to increase capacities for the protection of human rights, with a special focus on the rights of LGBT. The commercial, produced by the LGBT Forum Progres, Centre for Civic Education and Koala Production and authored by Danilo Marunovic, helps raising awareness on the topic and on the prejudices still present in Montenegro against LGBT people.

The afore-mentioned commercial was awarded the Grand Prix of the Festival FORFEST on creative industry of Budva (19.04-21.04) where 110 companies from 8 different countries took part, thus giving attention on the topic not only locally but also from a regional and international point of view, strengthening the aims and goals of our projects and organizations on a wider scale.
