The Last Butterfly
5.8

Stage mime Antoine Moreau is compelled by the Gestapo to put on a performance for the children of Terezin, a "model" concentration camp, to convince the Red Cross observers that the camp is truly what it seems. Reluctant at first, Moreau slowly learns the true nature of the camp, including the meaning of the "transports" on which people leave. With a world-class orchestra (made up of people interned in the camp) and a cast of children, Moreau stages a show to end all shows.

Leaving Beginnings Behind
N/A

In her most recent film, Linda Kallistová Jablonská observes three girls growing up in a residential facility in Počátky, Czech Republic, over the course of ten years. She explores their dreams about liberty, the reality they must face as well as their ideas about their own future families. The sequel to her first longitudinal documentary about Adéla, Denisa and Pavla captures the rocky road to independence after leaving the facility, their reconciliation with the past, job search, new relationships, small joys and big disappointments. Not only does the director draw an empathic portrait of three young girls with no-one to rely on but themselves; she also explores the ways in which public institutions form young people’s attitudes to life.

Welcome to North Korea!
5.3

Documentary.In its catalogue, a Czech travel agency offers a "journey into the unknown", a tour of North Korea. That spring was the second time since 1990 that a group of Czech tourists set foot in the DPRK. The film follows twenty-seven Czechs who have decided to spend approximately 2,600 Euros on a sightseeing tour of a country which cultivates a cult of personality, maintains concentration camps for its citizens and doesn't hide its development of nuclear weapons. Foreign visitors are only allowed a view of a carefully prepared illusion, thoroughly supervised by "guides". What is more, the North Korean system is starkly reminiscent of our own past. Which emotions do our travellers experience: sympathy, nostalgia or, in contrast, happiness that "we already have this behind us"? How does a Czech person, after being accustomed to eighteen years of freedom and democracy, come to terms with the directives and restrictions of a totalitarian system?

In a few years’ time these young people might be in charge of public affairs. But who are they? Director Linda Jablonská has been following the activities of the young conservatives and communists from November 17, 2005 until the 2006 general elections. What books would you expect to find in the libraries of young left-wingers and right-wingers? Would either party consider dating someone from the other side? What is their family background, what makes them get involved? And most importantly – what happens, when they meet, for example at May Day celebrations?

A documentary romance about two young people with disabilities who are trying to stand on their own two feet... Ondra and Lucka don't have it easy in life; they both have mental disabilities that limit their ability to find independent or shared housing. At the same time, like most people their age, they naturally want to leave the nest, live on their own without parental supervision, and have a relationship. The Rytmus organization offers them the opportunity to try out all these desires in the form of a training apartment.
