Poster for Cikánský svátek v Sadské

1972 · ★ 0.0 (0)

During her second year of studies, alongside Living Water (Živá voda, 1972), Helena Böhmová also made a shorter, ethnographically oriented documentary report on the lives of Vlax Roma in Sadská. Families dance in courtyards while the men prepare their horses. The wagons, which can no longer legally be used for a nomadic way of life, are taken out into the town’s streets for at least a short ride. The filmmaker strives for maximum authenticity – silent, unembellished footage that also depicts the poverty and squalor of Roma life is accompanied by authentic recordings of women singing traditional Roma songs.

2026 · ★ 0.0 (0)

At the heart of a river, two guardians—reminiscent of the Moirai—conduct a ritual analysis of the water. Wielding mirrors that capture and reflect light, they seek to purify the river, only to realize that pollution does not dwell in the water itself, but within humanity itself. In a final gesture of enchantment and confrontation, they turn the mirrors towards the viewer, inviting them to confront their own reflection.

Poster for Phaidros

2018 · ★ 4.0 (3)

Phaidros is based on Plato's eponymous dialogue and plays in an LBQT+ milieu of a present-day metropolis. The actor Emil is meant to embody the character of the poet Phaedrus in a battle of words with Werner Maria, who slips into the role of Socrates. When the borders between friendship and sexual initiation soon blur beyond the events on stage, too, the shrill, carnivalesque scenario turns into grotesque love triangles and quadrangles, which ultimately even cause a casualty.

Poster for When the Dogs Talked

2014 · ★ 0.0 (0)

As a group of Indigenous adults argue about whether to save their government housing or their sacred landscape, their children struggle to decide how the ancestral Dreaming makes sense in their contemporary lives. Listening to music on their ipods, walking though bush lands, and boating across seas, they follow their parents on a journey to reenact the travel of the Dog Dreaming. Along the way individuals run out of stamina and boats out of gas, and the children press their parents and each other about why these stories matter and how they make sense in the context of Western understandings of evolution, the soundscapes of hip hop, and the technologies of land development. "When the Dogs Talked" mixes documentary and fiction to produce a thoughtful yet humorous drama about the everyday obstacles of structural and racialized poverty and the dissonance of cultural narratives and social forms. —Elizabeth A. Povinelli
