Jailed memory

This film shot on 17 November 2016 – Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day, a traditional day of public demonstrations – looks at the meaning of this public holiday by talking to various people who merely enjoy their day off and do not go to any protests. Their responses are juxtaposed with video from the all-seeing cameras of police helicopters.

What did the preparations of the greatest demonstration since 1989 look like? Who are the people behind the organization Milion chvilek pro demokracii (A Million Moments for Democracy)? Is it possible to put up with the pressure and expectations of 283,000 people? The demonstration at Letná through the eyes of Amalie Kovářová.

A fragment of our past is locked behind the garage door, forcing us to sense not only what is, but also what was.    

The best holiday is one where you find yourself. And when it turns out really well, it can be hard to remember who you were before. A short documentary based on the author's autobiographical experience with coming back to work after parental leave.  

Pepa, a deaf guy, enjoys being among people with normal hearing. But pieces of information often come to him distorted. Misunderstandings are common, even in interactions with his boyfriend, Jakub. Jakub tries to learn sign language, but his impatience prevents him from really understanding Pepa. How can the both worlds be connected?    

A symbolic dark bridge between students of various nationalities and a Czech patriot.

Living is like crossing a bridge. Is it possible that what looks like it is part of a cityscape is in fact a living being? Just like people, it is born, it lives an eventful life, it experiences its fate and its quiet forsaken aging, and then it inevitably dies. Meet Kyiv’s Rybalski Bridge and its memories.

This melancholic film tells a story of a deserted Ukrainian beach that is currently mined and dangerous due to explosives under water. Images of the post-apocalyptic landscape are accompanied with a voiceover and personal memories of the locals and opinions of experts. 

It awaits us all, few look forward to it and most of us is afraid of it. Death. When was the last time you talked about it? And is it even necessary? My dad is dying, and among thousand thoughts that run in my head there's one I cannot silence. We are no longer able to deal with death, not at all. Nobody taught us. In the world of modern technology, in our welfare society, we cannot cope with the most basic part of life, its end.   

A personal documentary about the (im)possibility of living in the center of Prague. The filmmaker and her five-year-old-son received an eviction notice from City Hall ordering them to leave the one-room apartment in which her grandfather lived for almost thirty years. The film illustrates the impact that mass tourism and City Hall’s housing policy have on the capita city’s inhabitants.

How would a tumour think if it talked? A fictional interview with Mr Tumour about his life journey and building his business. A short science-popularization comedy about oncological diseases and their progress with a touch of humour.

Stories of objects that can be found while walking your dog around the Jihlava housing estate. The film reflects our society and seeks to find the answer to a question “At what point does an object become worthless to us?”.
