Sat 27.05.2017 | 17:30Jiří Menzel - To Make A Comedy Is No Fun (2016)
Section: Special Mention
Directed by: Robert Kolinsky
Switzerland, 2016, 80 min
Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema 2
Score:
The story of an exceptional filmmaker. In 1968, Czechoslovakian director Jiří Menzel won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for Closely Watched Trains – his first feature film ever. Just a year later, his next film Larks on a String is banned by the totalitarian government. But Menzel decided to stay in his communist country and continue working as a director and actor for theatre and film. His comedies and costume dramas were commercial successes that tested the limits of the authorities with his well hidden political messages. Today, filmmakers like Miloš Forman, Ken Loach, Emir Kusturica and István Szabó are amongst his admirers and friends.

Making their way to the demilitarized zone in the South, the boys become unavoidably caught up in the whirlwind of war.

Tue 30.05.2017 | 16:30Obsession (2016)
Section: Special Mention
Directed by: Jakub Machala
Czech Republic, 2016, 20 min
Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema 6
Score:
A documentary film based on the parallel lives of two women – of a student looking for her place in life and work and of an experienced lady who found her place long ago. Mrs. Sonja Bata and a student of a footwear design studio not only lead audiences through the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, but on the journey of two women, the search for human similarities and differences, and especially the source of desire and obsession that leads us to seek out and achieve them; these should appeal to even those not interested in shoes at all.
