Slovak films presented at the World Film Festival Montreal

  The World Film Festival Montreal, held between August 27 – September 7, 2009 will present two new Slovak films in its non-competitive sections.

 

Nebo, peklo... zem (L. Sivakova)

 The new Slovak film Heaven, Hell... Earth directed by Laura Siváková, which came to Slovak cinemas on April 16, 2009, will be presented in the „Focus on World Cinema“ section. This section focuses at new films from Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania and reflects the vocation of the Festival as "World Film Festival". The screening will be the film‘s international premiere.
The film shows the story of Klára (22). Klára is close to becoming a successful ballet dancer in one of the best dance ensembles in the world. All she needs is exercise and discipline. Klára lives in a happy relationship with Tomáš, a young, ambitious entrepreneur. And then Klára hurts her foot, finds out that Tomáš is cheating on her, her family falls apart and she falls in love. Even though she knows close to nothing about 54-year-old Rudolf, whose wife left him and lives with their 13-year-old daughter, she falls head over heals into the new affair. It is a game of love and intimacy, passion and responsibility, and Klára plays both roles – that of a mother and that of a lover.

 

Moon Inside You (D. Fabianova)  The documentary Moon Inside You is the debut of the director Diana Fabiánová. In Montreal it will be presented in the “Documentaries of the World” section. The Spanish-French-Slovak coproduction will have its international premiere at the Locarno International Film Festival. It will come to Slovak theatres during autumn 2009.

The film Moon Inside you is a fresh look at the taboo subject of menstruation – „the curse“ – that defines the political and social reality of both women and men more profoundly than they are willing to admit.
