What is the relationship between us and the statues? Are they just motionless objects, or can we feel close to each other?

We focused on the term: Alternative Truth. It is a term that was included in The Urban dictionary in 2017 and is now becoming one of the commonly used, often in the context of the ongoing pandemic. With the expansion of various information channels, human perception, and the subsequent need for our own interpretation of what we consider to be the truth are also expanding. More than before, people ask questions such as: “Is there one truth?“ and “How can one think that?“ Our documentary is built around these questions."   (director's text)

This diary-like film shifts the possibilities of v-logs and becomes a personal testimony about living in a world whose problems are too big for just one person. Environmental despair, collective depression, alienation and a cancelled future: “Where to find the energy to pretend that lives in this world are liveable?” The film finds hope in the meaning of everyday life and self-love. (director's text)

The audio of this film should show people what can happen in a war. While the video might remind you why to get up again, even if we're at the bottom.(director's text)

The documentary deals with the life of my brother Ing. Quirin Jedlička. My brother and I are twins and we were born on January 31, 1953. During the birth, my brother suffered an injured cerebral palsy. The doctors did not give our mother any chance for his next life. He did not walk or sit for three years, etc. Gradually, however, mainly thanks to the huge efforts of our mother, he managed to stabilize his condition and gradually, albeit with considerable delay, learned to do things that his peers had long since mastered. We started elementary school. The situation has changed since the second class. The new teacher wanted to have a "socialist class" and so she proposed to include pupils who differed in some way in an auxiliary school. She succeeded in several cases, but not with my brother. Every year (up to 5th grade), the mother had to bring confirmation from the Children's Hospital that the brother did not look completely socialistically prescribed, but that she was perfectly fine in terms of intelligence, quite the opposite. It was better from sixth to ninth grade. Subsequently, he passed the grammar school exams and graduated in 1972. In the same year, he was accepted to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Brno University of Technology. He graduated in 1977. His brother began to devote himself to literary and artistic work. He managed to get a room, which he turned into a studio. There he paints and creates. He organized a total of more than 20 solo exhibitions, participated in many collective exhibitions, and was invited to several domestic and foreign painting symposia. His paintings are mostly abstract, drawing on nature, colorful and generally optimistic. As for literary endeavors, he published a total of 10 poetry collections / Petrov, Větrné mlýny, Šimon Ryšavý /. Ladislav Fuks and Arnošt Goldflam, for example, spoke favorably of his literary work. My brother and I reconstructed an old cottage and my brother often stays there. He did not get married and now pays his care to our mother, with whom he lives in Brno. So in summary, initially without a chance, in the end a life lived and filled with work and creation. (director's text)

I have got the urge to scream. It came out of nowhere. All my thoughts at that moment were directed to control myself and not really start yelling. I told myself: don't shout. I resisted and I remained silent. But that feeling, that inner tension, stayed inside me. I started looking for a place where it would be possible - to shout safely and also freely. I found sirens.(director's text)

A raw and delicate look at the absence of a relationship between the filmmaker and her mother. Working with an analogy between her mother’s job as a tram driver and amateur radio operator, the filmmaker explores missing connections and their possible trajectories. (director's text)

Audiovisual work about the river edge and its surroundings in an environment modified by humans - a city. An impuls for the film was the story of river Ponávka which had been led to underground sewer-like pipes in order to prevent floods which were a result of previous dry out of ponds and straightening of its flow. Field records and samples are layered, deformed and supplemented by electronic melodies with an attempt to achieve imaginative and non-antropomorphic perception of the imaginary narrator: the river edge.(director's text)

The filmmaker presents her research in the field of the sexual harassment of women, bringing together the voices of multiple women in an original manner, with individual testimony becoming collective experience. She does not accuse but tries to encourage woman and men to engage in deeper reflection. (director's text)
