Three masters of football. They can perform wonders during the match and score impossible goals. But what happens in their heads when they are about to take penalty kicks? In his audiovisually intensive film, Jevremović looks for a parallel between sport and society-wide frenzy.

The fact that love can move mountains and that true feelings pay no mind to the density of one’s hair is demonstrated by a band named Pcháá in their ‘living room indie’ song. To address the titular problem, director Ondřej Bystrý uses moveable clay figures.

A confession of love to a city that has suffered a lot. Depicted by many artists, the city was destroyed many times throughout centuries. Just as the events have transformed the place, the director paints over one layer of paint with another, again and again. But the memory of the place remains. A romantic and expressive journey through the history of Dresden.

An animated music video for the song ‘Koriandr šel na vandr’ by the Czech musician Pokáč. The song comes from his album Ovce na pohovce intended for children. The director of this playful music video is Philippe Kastner, an up-and-coming star of the new generation of Czech animation.

This playfully stylised, somewhat modern and somewhat traditional fairy tale is about a talented musician. He is banished from the kingdom’s capital and the guards destroy his precious instrument as the princess was enchanted by his music but disenchanted by his looks. But that can change.

In this pilot episode of a six-part anthology miniseries about the adventures of a Kazakh taxi driver in Prague, the protagonist inadvertently gets tangled up in a messy jewel heist.

This disturbing film again utilises many artistic approaches and animation techniques. It also combines several influences. Inspired by Kafka’s story In the Penal Colony, a famous painting by Arnold Böcklin and drawing a parallel to Soviet Russia, the film takes us to a strange place where a soldier is about to be punished for insubordination. The punishment will be carried out by a machine which will engrave the committed crime (as a text) on the man’s back so that he feels it ‘on his own skin’.

After two ‘animal’ films, Diary takes us into the seemingly dull reality of an ordinary person living in a city. Thanks to animated street flythroughs, their commute to work turns into a fascinating spectacle. In ten minutes ‘the camera’s eye’ stops only for a few moments when the depicted scene is projected onto the author’s canvas.

With its varying style, this dynamic impression evokes the fleetingness of the moment. A running animal, wind blowing through the landscape, a human face…  The ensemble of several artistic techniques oscillating between abstract and specific depiction is held together by the character of the score, which at the same time drives the superbly animated metamorphoses forward like a cheetah in pursuit of its prey.

Fly By tells the story of a plane flying through a cloud. A seemingly banal everyday situation results in some unexpected moments. Even a poetic white cloud can get angry, turn black and eventually become a storm cloud. What can happen in such case? And can the pilot and the cloud become friends after all?
