InfoIt all started innocently. Two students from Litomyšl, Jan Pech and František Snopek, out of boyish devilishness, tore up and flushed portraits of Stalin and Gottwald down the school's toilet. The school janitor is on the case, but our two protagonists are not the only ones suspected of the crime. Arrests and interrogations were a political tool of the Communist Party in its struggle against entities that refused to obey it.

Czech Republic, 2020, 13 min
Projection place: Golden Apple Cinema, sál 6
Score:
A short film dedicated to the fate of Jewish children imprisoned in the Terezín ghetto (1941-1945). This story of hope and human belonging which can stand up to evil is intended primarily for children. Therefore, in its story and art form, it also uses a poetic abbreviation and hyperbole, which makes it possible to convey the most important messages to children through animation. Chlapec Miloš s dívkou Jarmilkou objevují na půdě starého domu v Terezíně tajemné nástěnné malby a kufr plný vzpomínek na druhou světovou válku. Minulost ožívá a uprostřed válečné vřavy se zhmotňuje svět dětské fantazie. Žádná pohádka ale netrvá věčně a transportní vlaky se opět vydávají na cestu do Osvětimi.

Comenius' story is told through a scholar's interview with the painter Rembrandt, who drew his portrait. Based on their dialogue, the individual episodes of Comenius' life unfold before us.
