Stars(de)

This black and white documentary film reports on a brigade of women, they are the "stars" of a Berlin light bulb factory. What is striking is the cordiality and good cooperation within the women's group, despite their monotonous work in the control area in the production of tungsten wires, also called filaments. Original tones are inserted to convey the joys, the cheerfulness and quick-wittedness that they have despite their burden of family and work. A problem of the wrong way of counting the female workers is openly addressed by the brigade leader and in a countercut Inge introduces her baby to her colleagues in the company. Everything seems like one big family and nobody can really imagine being without this work.

Hrdý Budžes(cs)

Záznam divadelní adaptace bestselleru Ireny Douskové s Bárou Hrzánovou v hlavní roli. Asi málokdo před pár lety tušil, jak velké popularity dosáhne útlá knížka Ireny Douskové s poněkud tajuplným názvem "Hrdý Budžes". Příběhy Helenky Součkové, žákyně 2. třídy základní školy, trpící hloubavostí a nadváhou a potažmo i nastupující husákovskou normalizací, se odehrávají v tehdejší stranické baště - uranové Příbrami. Bylo proto logické, že právě příbramské divadlo uvedlo Helenčiny příběhy na divadelní scénu. A našlo si pro to, jak se ukázalo, geniální představitelku hlavní hrdinky. Bára Hrzánová byla za tuto roli oceněna Cenou Thálie 2003, televizní záznam divadelní inscenace se stal opravdovým diváckým hitem, stejně jako samotné představení i kniha Ireny Douskové.
