Walking and Running

Vít Pancíř | Czech Republic | 2018 | 10 min

The stories of a young couple in love, an old lady caring for a flower on her window sill, a successful runner and a one-legged beggar on a street corner gradually intertwine in the presence of unrelenting wind which can, much like human steps, be considered as a metaphor for the tireless cycle of life.

30 Amper

Michal Kubíček | Czech Republic | 2018 | 14 min

In this atmospheric film set in a post-apocalyptic world, the debuting director mixed western, sci-fi, horror and thriller. We watch the film’s main hero wander through the desolate world in search of something. When he finally finds what he’s been looking for after a fight with weird monsters, there is a surprising twist.

Switch of Roles

Pavel Koutský | Czech Republic | 2017 | 6 min

Pavel Koutský, the classic of Czech animation, once again addresses a topical issue: in the contemporary world, we are all both puppeteers and puppets without even noticing it. In his film, Koutský asks the question who is the object and who is the subject and who controls whom.

Neighbours (story of Rudolf Bělohoubek)

Martin Búřil | Czech Republic | 2018 | 9 min | CS

This absorbing anidoc returns to an embarrassing period of our history – often paradoxical retributions after WWII. By means of strongly visual images, the film illustrates a dramatic story of a man whose father was arrested and wrongly accused of collaborating with the Germans. The man actually saved a lot of lives when, as a postman, he destroyed a number of letters by informers.
