Slovak Films at Mittel Punkt Europa
The showcase of Central European Cinema will take place in the first half of March at the Museum of Film in Munich (March 1 – 11, 2018) and at the Film Gallery in Regensburg (March 4 – 7, 2018). Mittel Punkt Europa will for the second time ask a question „Where is the centre of Europe?“ in an effort to learn more and understand better the German's neighboring countries to the East.
The purpose of the showcase is to unveil the life of the people from The Visegrad Group (Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary) and to repress the continuing misunderstanding by means of contemporary films and discussions with the filmmakers. Belarus will join aforementioned countries in this edition.
Mittel Punkt Europa will introduce four Slovak feature length fiction co-production films. The showcase will begin with a drama based on true events, A Prominent Patient (d. Julius Ševčík), followed by successful The Line, with director of the film Peter Bebjak present the both screenings. German audience will also have a chance to see Little Harbour (d. Iveta Grófová), the adaptation of the same-titled book, and The Teacher by Jan Hřebejk.
A stylized portrait of authentic Czech neo-Nazi, who hates his life but doesn´t know how to change it, The White World According to Daliborek (d. Vít Klusák) is the only documentary screened. Last but not least, the showcase will too present two shorts – the animation Chilli by Martina Mikušová and student film B moll by Zuzana Marianková.
