Documentary film Lifetransit wants to raise awareness about people whose lives are complicated by several disabilities at once. For example, they have to use electric wheelchair and deal with vision or hearing impairment etc. Looking from the outside, people who don't speak and don't move are often not given a chance to develop their mental and physical capacities and to be involved in the society. There are special institutions that help these people to be involved and live the life they would like to. This film focuses on one of these institutions called Jedličkův ústav and on the people with "combined disabilities" who study at its Practical schools that prepare students to live their future everyday life. This very important topic deserves to be explored and director Martin Ryšavý tells the stories of the people he followed for two years very sensitively, but without pointless pity.

A documentary-scenic film analyzing bullying in institutions and businesses in a interconnected sequence of stories that are compiled into a whole. A large STEM / MARK research from 2013 states that bullying affects 23 percent of employees. Surprisingly, a large percentage of registered cases concerns people working in the public sector or in the state administration, while the reasons for bullying at the workplace differ. In our film we focus on people who went through a long-term traumatic experience of bullying.

The film follows one of the most prominent prisoners of the Military regime in Burma returning to his homeland after 20 years. Presenting journey to the people on both sides of for years divided society gives a different perspective of the possibilities of coexistence, forgiveness and looking at your own life and society. Banyarr wants to know before the 2020 election, whether it's possible to live back in the country. The same simple question is asked by hundreds of millions people, who have fled their countries suffering from harsh regimes or even wars. He wants to know, whether democratic and open development of society is possible, despite of rising contradictions on many levels.
