Czech Horizon II

Love, Dad

Diana Cam Van Nguyen | Czech Republic, Slovakia | 2021 | 13 min

An original ani-doc by a young Czech-Vietnamese director who achieved success with her previous film, Apart. In her take on an animated documentary, the author goes one step further – she adds a personal level and with a combination of multiple techniques (including superbly executed replacing) tries to reconnect and reconcile with her father.

The Land of Cruciform Sun

Aleš Zůbek | Czech Republic | 2021 | 12 min

The watersheds are saturated with a parasitic substance and have become a hatchery for a crystalline matter slowly overgrowing entire ecosystems for which time has run out. There is only the moment of endless refraction, which materialises and conserves the diverse expressions of their host in repetitive sequences.

Rotsethornet

Karolína Pravdová | Czech Republic | 2021 | 3 min

The author’s film is inspired by the experience of a study stay in the Norwegian city of Volda. It describes the joint ascent of a pair of heroes to a local landmark – Rotsethornet. The author uses classic animation, for which she used painting with gouache paints to depict the sleepy atmosphere of a Norwegian town.

Trees and Us

Tereza Motýlová, Rudolf Mašata | Czech Republic | 2022 | 11 min

This film is an unusual filmic poem in which the director follows the destiny of wood and its journey back to the forest. The film was made using refreshing stop-motion animation in a real forest where various wooden objects and pieces of furniture end up.
