Diptych
"Encounter with Shape and Color"
Synopsis
Diptych is a short documentary portrait of two artists — painter Květa Monhartová and sculptor Miroslava Nová. Against the backdrop of their long-standing friendship, the film explores both the contrasts and harmonies between two entirely different artistic philosophies. In her dialogue with stone, Miroslava Nová allows nature itself to speak, rejecting human intervention and striving for purity of form and meaning. In contrast, Květa Monhartová perceives painting as a space for embodying personal experience and emotion. Beyond a subtle reflection on friendship, the film reveals how essential artistic creation is for both women as a means of self-discovery and expression of personal identity.

Little Ashes

Yale University, 1961. Stanley Milgram designs a psychology experiment that still resonates to this day, in which people think they’re delivering painful electric shocks to an affable stranger strapped into a chair in another room. Despite his pleads for mercy, the majority of subjects don’t stop the experiment, administering what they think is a near-fatal electric shock, simply because they’ve been told to do so. With Nazi Adolf Eichmann’s trial airing in living rooms across America, Milgram strikes a nerve in popular culture and the scientific community with his exploration into people’s tendency to comply with authority. Celebrated in some circles, he is also accused of being a deceptive, manipulative monster, but his wife Sasha stands by him through it all.
