ČAKÁREŇ / WAITING ROOM
|
|
| Director: | Palo Korec | |
| The documentary that reveals great and small expectations. The story shows a woman’s life- cycle through the various forms of waiting that are based on the specific life-stories of real women as they occur or occurred in their lives. It is a documentary mosaic of life, which in some moments is transformed into a harsh sociological study of today’s world. All the stories are linked by the waiting room at the Central Station and the fragmented view of the world. | ||

KUPÓNOVÁ PRIVATIZÁCIA / THE CZECH WAY CZ, SK, 2015, 92 min. |
|
| Director: | Martin Kohout |
|
|
The Czech Way tells a story of Czechoslovak economic transformation of the 90s. This transformation took place in the period, when the Czech and Slovak nationhood were established, so it was presented as the key to the transformation of totalitarian society into a democratic one, and - on the other side, publicly understood mainly as a process of wealth redistribution - from the stay to the people. The consequences of the very execution and rhetorics accompanying such sudden and large transfers of property still have interminable importance for both countries. |

OČAMI FOTOGRAFKY / THROUGH THE EYES OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER
|
|
| Director: | Matej Mináč | |
| A docu-drama about Zuzana Mináčová, the 84-year old photographer who was present at the birth of Slovak film. Her pictures of film stars have literally become legendary. However, for many years she did not allow even her nearest and dearest to view her terrible memories of the past and the years spent in a concentration camp. In the full-length documentary with feature reconstructions, Zuzana Mináčová takes the viewer through many of the significant events of the 20th century, through Fascism, communism and capitalism; she reveals the principles of her art work, takes the viewers behind the scenes of taking pictures of film stars and through her dramatic personal life. | ||

POSLEDNÝ PORTRÉT/ LAST FOLIO SK, GB, 2015, 80 min. |
|
| Director: | Katya Krausova | |
|
World renowned photographer, Yuri Dojc, returns to Slovakia, his home country which he left in 1968 following the Soviet invasion. He is on a journey of discovery of his roots and much much more. The encounters with people he photographs and places he visits lead him to an abandoned Jewish school where only the disintegrating dusty volumes remain on the shelves - the pupils and their parents were all deported to Auschwitz in 1942. By pure serendipity one of these books carries a stamp of Jakab Deutsch, a tailor from Michalovce- the photographer’s grandfather, a man whom he never met and he now has something that truly belongs to him. |
