    From the challenging films of the Czecho-Slovak New Wave of 1960s  – The Sun in a Net (1962) and Three Daughters (1967) by Štefan Uher and Birdies, Orphans and Fools (1969) by Juraj Jakubisko, to the “rebirth” of young generation of the early 1990s represented by the strong artistic viewpoint of Martin Šulík –Tenderness (1991), to the young contemporary wave of Slovak cinema symbolically introduced in Cannes 2008 with Blind Loves (2008) by Juraj Lehotský, at Berlinale’s Forum with The House (2011) by Zuzana Liová and Velvet Terrorists (2013), by Pavol Pekarčík, Ivan Ostrochovský and Peter Kerekes, and exploring new genres with the found footage / POV horror Evil (2012) by Peter Bebjak.

    All these films are there to be explored and discovered by the audiences of a city with the most cinematographic sunset to be found at a film festival.
