Art Talent Show

Young artists apply to the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague hoping that by studying at the prestigious school they will achieve fame, recognition, and the satisfaction of self-expression. The observational documentary follows the admissions process of three studios headed by strong art figures who attempt to get authentic expression out of the applicants instead of empty verbiage. However, it is not only the teachers and young artists who share their views on contemporary art but also the studio staff and the peculiar porters. In the process, the kaleidoscope of debates and opinions reveals the difficulty judging artistic creation as well as the changing power mechanisms in educational institutions.
