FILM ON:

How does the brains of the Soviet regime, an academician, the father of the hydrogen bomb, an outstanding intellectual for whom even in the Kremlin, all doors were open become an irreconcilable champion of human rights, prisoners of conscience, and an internationally renowned enemy of this system? The film "My Husband Andrey Sakharov" answers this question in an intriguing yet subdued, even intimate form: by presenting the views of witnesses to those times and Sakharov’s colleagues. His widow Yelen... more

FILM ON:

Vietnam is a country with thousands of faces. A wounded country that reappears with new life, surprising in its beauty, its culture and its four thousand years of history and legends. The campaigns and the rice plantations are still immersed in a remote past, while the cities unceasingly become expanding urban centers. An exciting path between tradition and modernity.

FILM ON:

"Foreigners" is an animated documentary about foreigners who live in London. Based on interviews with ten young people from all over the world who live in the city, the film pieces together vignettes from multiple points of view that reveal London as an international metropolis that is both exciting and alienating. The interviews suggest a fresh look at contemporary English culture, and raise more fundamental questions about cultural differences and human nature.

FILM ON:

"Ellis Island", the film, is a short audio-visual piece of work shot in the surroundings of what used to be called the “immigrants’ squat”, close to the cross-Channel harbor and the former Cherbourg seaport. "Ellis Island" questions the condition and the place of the immigrant through a reflection on “biopower”; its starting point is the following concern: the way a society can create weak human beings such as “immigrants”. Homesickness, lack of future, and emptiness of presen... more

FILM ON:

A unique film essay from director Vladimír Mráz, testifying, without words, to the unrepeatable platitude, eminent banality, and inner perception in compelling elusiveness and simultaneously edifying time. The documentary registers the expansive metamorphoses in the city of Ostrava, the "heart of steel" of former Czechoslovakia, together with the daily life of its inhabitants, even in their most intimate moments, giving it both an unexpected coherence and contrast. Thi... more
