    SH_T HAPPENS

    INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION 

    Czech Republic, Slovakia, France 2019 / 13 min
    Directed by: 
    Dávid Štumpf, Michaela Mihályi

    Produced by: Peter Badač / BFILM.cz (CZ)
    Co-produced by: BFILM (SK), Bagan Films (FR), FAMU (CZ) ... (full crew)

    An apartment building full of self centered inhabitants. Utterly exhausted caretaker and his sexually frustrated wife. Widowed deer drowning his sorrows in loads of alcohol... While trying to cope with their problems, they find themselves in a hard to solve triangle asking for absurd and irrational solutions. The consequences can easily become permanent, sometimes maybe too permanent. The film is a loose adaptation of a well-known biblical story while transforming it into an contemporary ironic narrative about how the world sometimes works.

    THE KITE

    YOUNG AUDIENCE 

    Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Poland 2019 / 13 min
    Directed by: Martin Smatana
    Produced by: Peter Badač / BFILM.cz (CZ)
    Co-produced by: BFILM (SK), FAMU (CZ), CeTA (PL) ... (full crew)

    The Kite deals with the topic of death in a metaphorical and symbolic way. Through the relationship between a little boy and his grandpa, the film shows that none of us is here forever and all living creatures must die, but at the same time it reminds us that death doesn’t mean the end of our journey.
