The Resurrection of a Nation(2018)

Murder Ballads and Other Legends from Ladomírová(sk)

The documentary film is not a search for the survived truth of the inhabitants of the Ruthenian village Ladomírová. It captures their subjective memories, often frozen in time and in everyday life. Only strong impressions of sadness, joy, suffering, which reflect the great history of the 20th century. There is no truth about the past, it is only the human mind that actually makes morytates - bloody enlightening stories and legends.

Marijka the Unfaithful(cs)

“The Carpathians are medieval!” one character bellows, and this tale of the tree-chopper Petro, his faithless wife Marijka, and various scheming businessmen and foremen does little to disprove the assertion. Interestingly filmed with a nonprofessional cast recruited from the region, Faithless Marijka may have a neorealist conceit, but its direction is utterly futuristic, filled with the lightning-fast montage techniques and low-angle camera of the Soviet avant-garde (along with its invigorating agitprop).

“Something every day needs to be sweet,” says Meg Ray in this charming feature documentary about a tiny café on a remote island in the Baltic Sea, at risk of closing down unless Meg and a small group of islanders can save it. Café Truten has very little running water or consistent electricity and with only days to open the cafe, we watch as Meg and her helpers are pushed to their limits and pull off culinary miracles.

Marcello Mastroianni, irrésistiblement libre(fr)

The 1960s opened with La Dolce Vita by Federico Fellini and its unforgettable lead: Marcello Mastroianni. The actor seemed to glide effortlessly through his roles — and through life — as if to say that life is not all that serious, or perhaps that it is far too serious not to be laughed at. But what kind of man was hiding behind the actor with the handsome, boyish looks, who appeared so gentle and nonchalant?
