Bohéma
Barrandov Studios, once one of Europe’s most modern film factories, became both a cultural refuge and a propaganda tool under Nazi occupation, churning out Czech comedies and romances to keep the public distracted while its actors mingled with German authorities. After the war, many of those same stars faced accusations of collaboration, their meteoric Protectorate-era fame tainted by the compromises they made to keep the cameras rolling under shifting regimes.

The Greatest Czechs
Film crew on the road: Director (Jaroslav Plesl), his Producer (Simona Babcáková), and their Director of Photography (Jirí Vyorálek) and Sound Arist (Johana Svarcova). Starving artists who already have a number of films to their names, Czech Lion award-winning films, excellent reviews and have been screened at numerous festivals, but they don't have audiences. Their next collaborative effort - the Director's lifetime dream - is quickly becoming oblivion because he failed to win a grant, which means it won't be made. And so the frustrated Director and his colleagues await their chance among record-holders of curious disciplines such as crawling with a squash racket or collecting four-leaf clovers. How will the collision of these two worlds end? What will the Director's next film be about?

Rules of Lies
33-year-old Roman decides to tackle his drug addiction by undergoing group therapy as part of a community holed up on an isolated farm in the Šumava mountains. Twelve people, men and women of varying ages and social status, voluntarily subject themselves to a tough regime under the supervision of three therapists. Many of them have stared death in the face already – overdoses, suicide attempts, and aggression heightened by the use of hard drugs, outwardly affecting even the strongest of them. Each brings something of his past into the group, which he has to experience again, both for himself and for those assembled. Past anguish, wrongs and guilt give rise to new problems: in this thickening atmosphere of suspicion and lies, who can still be trusted? This intimate psychological drama deliberately sets out to break up the tight narrative form through retrospectives in which we learn about the past life of each individual.

Long Live the Family!
Libor, a former teacher, enjoys a well-paid position as a bank manager, living in a luxurious villa outside Prague. His business partners are taken into custody and the authorities have a few questions for him to answer. Rather than wait around, he decides to take off to Moravia with his wife and two children. In the process, he pretends that everything is normal, rediscovers the value of family life, meets up with a former colleague lost in provincial obscurity, and becomes the object of a manhunt. Libor is not a criminal type, merely someone who signs cheques and is drawn into a business world failing to recognise its own criminality (he doesn’t even flee the country).

Ženy, které nenávidí muže
A detective investigating a series of murders becomes a suspect himself. He is suspended from duty and conducts his own investigation. With the quiet help of a colleague, he finds a clue to the real perpetrator. A classic detective story that focuses more on the human destinies of the individual characters than on the investigation itself. The main character is best characterized by the dilemma that pits collegiality against duty. His personal story is also far from textbook, as he deals with shared custody of his daughter from a divorced marriage and a new relationship with a new woman.

Médeia
A theatrical production by the independent theater company JEDL from Divadlo X10. The proven trio of creators Nebeský-Trmíková-Prachař used an ancient theme for original variations and reflections on the relationship between women and men and on the boundaries that cannot be crossed, even when love turns into mad hatred. The creators also invited painter I. Korpaczewski, conceptual artist M. Titlová Ylovsky, and musician J. Šikl to participate in the production, directly involving them in the dramatic form, thus creating the work in action, right in front of the audience.

Miloš Zeman: One Politician's Obituary and Celebration of Vysočina
Young but already experienced filmmaker Robert Sedláček (author of the documentary trilogy about modern Czech history Tenkrát or the feature debut Pravidla lži), meets in the film the retired prime minister Miloš Zeman, who, with his own ambivalent attitude, sees this film as his "obituary". In the documentary, he talks about the personal and socio-political contexts of his life and confesses in it his admiring relationship with Vysočina, which is for him an "anchor in his soul". The viewer learns what the former prime minister thinks about and how he reflects on the recent past, and in this way he can actually learn something about himself, because Miloš Zeman is one of the most powerful men in our modern history and therefore also, in a certain sense, the embodiment of Czech society.

A story of a career politic who became a representative of the Prague Spring when released, and then ended up being a president of oblivion, an icon of normalization and decay of the Czechoslovak state.
