Director
Petr Jančárek

During the last three years of Václav Havel's life, over 200 hours of unique, never published, original material for a feature documentary was filmed. This film aims to show Havel as a dramatic figure with his history and development, as a shy but consistent director of his own destiny, as a man with the life full of paradoxes, absurdities and unexpected twists. And also, as a man whose credo was that our deeds must always be in accordance with our conscience.

Hello, this is Gump. Do you still remember me? It's been a long time since I last checked in with you. But I was happy. And when a dog is happy, just like a human, nothing else is needed. My new cinematic journey begins exactly where the previous one ended. With my beloved Béďou Kozím Bobkem, we will traverse a story that the stars wrote for us a long time ago. On this journey, I will meet many new people again, but also animals, not just dogs. For example, the brave piglet Prince, the somewhat arrogant rooster Silver, the circus star pony Tomorrow, or the dog Julian, who saved lives of people. And I will also find my sister, Kytička.

Notes from Eremocene
Notes from Eremocene

Director
Viera Čákanyová

Taking place in a future that does not exist yet, Notes From Eremocene questions the ideal techno-optimistic model that lies ahead of us. From a curious, playful and critical standpoint, director Viera Čákanyová explores the potential of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence in dealing with complex global problems we humans create – climate change and the crisis of representative democracy. Combining diaristic film footage with 3D scanner images, the author is able to poetically stress the inherent tension between the analogue and digital future of mankind.
