Our Programme Manager Veronika Janatková will represent the Institute of Documentary Film at the 7th Carpathian Mountain International Film Festival in Uzhhorod, Ukraine, on 19–20 September. The festival runs from 17 to 20 September. Veronika curated its Czech-Ukrainian Film Dialogue section and will introduce the Czech programme, host a Q&A with the filmmakers and take part in an expert panel. She will also be available for meetings during the day on Saturday and on Sunday morning.
The Czech-Ukrainian Film Dialogue screening takes place on Saturday, 19 September at 7 pm at the BAVKA Puppet Theatre. The programme features Better Go Mad in the Wild by Miro Remo and Machine Mountain by Terezie Unzeitigová.
Remo’s film follows twin brothers Franta and Ondra, who live on a remote farm in the Bohemian Forest. Machine Mountain turns to a winter landscape shaped by ski lifts and snow cannons, where a local resident decides to challenge the machinery of ski tourism and its demands on the water supply. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers, moderated by Veronika. Admission is free with prior registration through the festival’s Instagram profile.
On Sunday, 20 September at 1 pm, Veronika will join “Transcarpathian Film Dialogue: V4 Expert Panel on Mountain Cinema and Regional Identity” at the Lis Art Space.
Veronika will also be available for meetings throughout Saturday and on Sunday morning. If you are attending the festival and would like to meet her, please contact her at janatkova@dokweb.net to arrange a time.
