The story of a forest - not a tropical forest with exotic wildlife, but the well-known forest that is behind the barn, which pulses with surprisingly rich life. With state-of-the-art technology and unique methods, the filmmakers have four decades of footage at locations across Europe; they often even lived in the woods with watched wild animals in order to truly tell the story of the forest from the ice age to the present and capture the exciting cycle of life within it.

Score:
The South Kamchatka Federal Sanctuary is often called a bear paradise. The LESFILM production team headed there and spent seven months observing and filming hidden secrets the newborn bear cubs' daily lives throughout their first year on Earth. 'Kamchatka Bears. Life Begins' is a movie that differs from the other nature documentary. The film is meditative. Music, the sounds of nature and the absence of a human voice allow the viewer to plunge into the beauty of wild nature as much as possible, to feel its presence among volcanoes, rivers and wild animals, and experience an important boundary, beyond which a person should not interfere.

Over the past few years, three handbikers have traveled through Iceland, Israel and Palestine. This time, Jiří Čeloud, Martin Matěj, and Pavel Přichystal head out on an adventure under the cruel African sun. Living five weeks in the saddle of a hand-cranked bike, having only the bare essentials with you in a backpack, sleeping in a tent or in the open, cooking over a fire - that may sound romantic, but after a week in the snow of the High Atlas, the participants recall the journey as a struggle with winter, time and self.

Score:
Three Czechs in a rickshaw race through India& Adrenaline-inducing, crazy, breathtaking, deadly - thus can the race on ridiculous carts across the colorful and unpredictable India be described. In a country where everybody takes their lives on the road into their own hands and getting on the road requires a lot of courage, the "tuk-tuk" race is a truly insane idea. And when you put three men from the heart of a civilized Europe, who only know about India curry and the Kama Sutra, it's a series of unfortunate events.
