new czech documentary - out of competition
Me - plural
Directed by Jan Gogola jr.
The film's authors see the often-mythicised world of twins as an opportunity to contemplate how many of us there really is in the world. Do we have an 'alter ego,' or indeed 'alter egos?' What hides behind the first, third, tenth? In addition to several pairs of real twins (elderly artists, young punks) the film features photographer Tereza Vlčková, whose project Two, acclaimed at home and abroad, deals with fictional and real twins.
My Grandpa Was a Soldier, He Made War at Piava
Directed by Ján Novák
A film about war in the the Italian and Slovenian mountains, seen through the eyes of temporary people. Michal Skulina and Roman Svoboda set out on the trail of their ancestors, Czech soldiers who fought on the river Piava in Italy during the First World War. Tens of thousands of soldiers on the frontlines fought until they were exhausted, and hundreds of them lost their lives. Those who survived carried memories of their cruel wartime experiences all their lives.
