Ten years ago, an exceptional social project called Homeless Blues was established on the northeastern edge of Prague, in a landscape of orchards, bridges, and railway tracks. Instead of pushing homeless people away, the Prague 9 district chose to offer them a chance: modular housing units, work opportunities, and the possibility to regain dignity. Over the course of one year, the documentary follows several members of this community — Margita, who finds solace in caring for animals after losing her partner; Karel and Martin, a long-term couple living beneath the railway who decide to get married; Karel “the Carpenter,” a talented craftsman unable to leave the settlement behind; and Hanka and Naďa, two women building a new home under a highway overpass. Their lives are connected by Karel V

In his journey, author who desperately holds to his life, approaches various people, projects and experiments that promise to escape death and live infinitely or at least for much longer than nature has planned. His journey reveals giant refrigerators in a village near Moscow where 67 frozen corpses of Kriorus company are held to be de-frozen sometimes in the next few hundred years or Nectome lab in the US that pumps out human brains.

Director
Adrian Stojkov

First Lady, economics graduate, the wife of a prime minister in turbulent times, diplomat, and above all a caring mother and grandmother — these are just some of the many roles that have shaped the life of Livia Klausová. In Livia, the film crew closely follows the personal and professional turning points she experienced alongside her husband, the former prime minister and president of the Czech Republic. From discussions around the family table during the formation of post-revolutionary capitalism, through meetings with world leaders, to her later position as the Czech ambassador to Slovakia. This intimate portrait reveals her perspective on the world — one guided above all by humanity and a strong sense of responsibility to protect the vulnerable.

Introducing

Based on a music video for singer Annet X, Veronika Donutková became the D.O.P. for the fantasy series Vedma and subsequently worked on the series Záhadné případy (Mysterious Cases) and Moloch Files. In practically a single step, she mastered a process that takes others years. “It was challenging and tough,” said the 33-year-old cinematographer and director, who previously shot the documentaries Respect Her Game and Displace. “Now, I’m going to catch up on my profession. Maybe I’ll work for someone as a camera assistant.”
