History of Dance
Director: Micheal Bohm
Running Time: 25 min
The main characters of this documentary film are Jana and Tomáš Böhm – former champions of a Czechoslovakian competition in Latin American dance between 1980 and 1984. During this period, their country was still a satellite of the Soviet Union. Their dance primacy allowed them to travel across Europe despite the political situation.
The Little Pieces of Freedom
Director: Matej Beran
Running Time: 19 min
A short documentary movie about a hardcore band called, “Remek.” The members of the band – Marek, Honza, Juraj and Simona – are ordinary people. The band is fun for them. And even it´s not a job for them, they invest lot of their free time into it. They do everything by themselves – from recording to printing their t-shirts. And although their music might sounds like aggressive noise, they are calm and nice vegans, who don´t smoke or drink alcohol. This film tries to refute a stereotyped thinking, that this music style is stupid, and shows how bands like this work, often with a lot of likeable awkwardness.
Didactica Magna: Against The Grain
Director: Tomas Hoffman Polensky
Running Time: 34 min
This portrait of experimental filmmaker and teacher Martin Dolensky takes a look at his teaching methods, his meetings with his student at FAMU, and at a park where they work with film or in his studio where he is cooking. He talks about his teaching methods, the school, and the students’ relationship to education and cinema.
