Petr Kubica

Jan Jedlička is one of the best kept secrets in the world of art. He was born in Prague in 1944 where he studied painting at the academy before immigrating to Switzerland in 1969. Petr Zaruba conveys through cinematic and formal choices the complexities of Jedlička’s creative strategies. An intertwined dialogue between two artists.

기후 위기가 되돌릴 수 없는 지경에 이를 정도로 점점 더 긴급해지고 인공지능이 기하급수적으로 확장됨에 따라, FREM은 포스트 휴머니즘적이고 인간중심적인 사고의 현재 흐름에 대해 놀랍고 때로는 불편한 반응을 보인다. 독특하고 실험적인 다큐멘터리인 비에라 차카뇨바의 영화는 지구상에서 가장 아름답지만 극단적인 풍경들 중 하나인 남극해 연안의 킹 조지 섬에 대한 잊을 수 없는 그리고 미래주의적인 묘사를 제공한다.

1,200 kilometres of snowy landscape to be covered in 12 days. These are the conditions for the Finnmarksløpet sled dog race and Czech husky breeder Jana Henychová is set to participate again.

As if directing a science-fiction film, Johana Ožvold dissects the story of electronic music. From the pioneer sound engineers working behind the Iron Curtain, through the French avant-garde composers, up to the post-modern creators of digital sonic artefacts, the first-time filmmaker summons an abstract landscape that is haunting and yet achingly beautiful. A voice appears from old television screens forgotten in the maze of some futuristic archive where past and future seem to coexist in a complex and multi-layered way.

Working conditions in the worst-paid jobs in the Czech Republic were examined by journalist Saša Uhlová during six months. She spent several weeks in a hospital laundrette, poultry house, cash register or waste sorting facility. Her experience became the basis of a lived and very personal report of invisible employees working in appalling conditions. Uhlová wrote a series of reports on her project that were published on the Alarm website. Apolena Rychlíková made them into a documentary film consisting of scenes shot at Uhlová's home and video footage taken during her work. Uhlová accompanies the picture with read commentary.

One of the best Czech composers of film soundtracks is often described as a genius of film scores. He was not afraid to experiment and the timelessness of his work is proven by the admiration of the world, including the generation who came to know his music only after his death.

This episode from the Czech Journal series examines how a military spirit is slowly returning to our society. Attempts to renew military training or compulsory military service and in general to prepare the nation for the next big war go hand in hand with society’s fear of the Russians, the Muslims, or whatever other “enemies”. This observational flight over the machine gun nest of Czech militarism becomes a grotesque, unsettling military parade. It can be considered not only to be a message about how easily people allow themselves to be manipulated into a state of paranoia by the media, but also a warning against the possibility that extremism will become a part of the regular school curriculum.

러시아와 북한 정부의 지원을 받아 제작하게 된 북한 평양 주민들의 일상을 담은 리얼 다큐멘터리. 오디션을 통해 ‘진미’라는 8살 소녀를 만나게 된 제작진은 ‘진미’가 준비하는 김정일 국방위원장의 생일 기념행사 과정을 담기로 한다. 하지만 제작진이 촬영하기 직전 마주한 ‘진미’의 생활은 모두 조작되어 있었다. ‘진미’의 집은 새로 지은 대형 아파트로 바뀌어 있었고 진수성찬이 차려진 밥상이 있는 부엌에는 흔한 식기 하나 보이지 않았다. 그리고, 촬영할 때마다 검은 코트의 경호원들이 등장하는데…

Director Vitaly Manskiy sets off on the trail of the Trans-Siberian gas pipeline to find out what it’s like for ordinary people living in its vicinity. This visually refined road movie, eloquently illustrating the absurd banality of modern Russia, is also an unsettling portrait of a gas line on which most of Europe is reliant.

Part documentary, part mockumentary and part stranger-than-fiction lesson in guerilla tactics, Velvet Terrorists is a quirky profile of three very different men and their former attempts to take down the communist regime of Czechoslovakia – by blowing the hell out of it. Having all spent time in prison for their crimes, one-time bombers Stanislav, Frantisek and Vladimir muse on their personal histories, the fall of the regime and their journey into middle age.
