Our colleague Jarka was a member of the FIFEM jury in Canada

Jaroslava Hynštová was a member of the jury at 27th FIFEM - Festival International du Film pour enfants de Montréal and it was quite an experience.

 In the competitions there were two Czech films - About a Cow by Pavla Baštanová and Big Dreams by Dan Pánek. Merci beaucoup Jo-Anne Blouin and her team for wonderful hospitality and longtime friendship. Jo-Anne Blouin is the founder and director of FIFEM and our dear friend as well.

There are Martin Beinhauer, the producer and Dan Pánek, the director of Big Dreams on the opening photo. We took this photo few moments before the first screening of Big Dreams.
