    PLZEN: The Czech/German/French/Slovenian/Slovak coproduction Family Film / Rodinný Film by Prague-based Slovenian director Olmo Omerzu will screen at the 29th Finale Plzen (15-21 April 2016).

    A husband and wife set sail on the ocean, leaving their two children at home to explore the freedom offered by the absence of parental supervision. But fear clouds the kids’ seemingly carefree life after they lose contact with their parents, whose boat capsizes in a storm.

    The film produced by Jiří Konečný through endorfilm with a budget of 1.45 m EUR /40 m CZK was shot on location in Prague and at the sea in Thailand. Coproducers are France’s Rouge International, the German company 42film, Slovenia’s Arsmedia, Slovakia’s Punkchart films and the Czech Television.

    The film was supported by the State Cinematography Fund – Czech Republic, the Slovak Audiovisual Fund, the Slovenian Film Center, MDM Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung and the MEDIA Programme.

    Family Film was highly acclaimed by Czech critics and participated in many international film festivals, including San Sebastian and Tokyo IFF, where it was awarded for Best Artistic Contribution.

    The film was released in the Czech Republic by Cinemart in February 2016. Cercamon World Sales is handling the sales.
