Investigators
Investigators want to look at the phenomena and controversial topics that are spread in our society, but have no scientific background – e.g., some types of alternative medicine or the popular eso-themes such as telepathy, out-of-body experience, bioresonance, telepathy or clairvoyance.
Investigators try to explore each topic - sometimes amusingly, but clearly and seriously in general. Other protagonists - mainly supporters of one side or another (sceptics vs. advocates) are there (not) to help them. The aim of the project is to raise public awareness. However, the authors do not want to force their own opinion upon the audience - their goal is to present facts, so that the spectator is able to create his own opinion.
We currently witness an increasing blending of esotericism and science, which makes room for imposters and greedy people. The documentary series therefore aims at objective investigation of the phenomena on the frontier of knowledge of the contemporary science so as to “separate the wheat from the chaff”. The main goal is not to unequivocally prove or refute the phenomena (the film is not a scientific study) but to describe them from a rational point of view. Attention is thus drawn to the facts. All the topics have a common element: their advocates are presenting them as clear, real and existing, even though they have never been scientifically proven.

Velvet Generation
Velvet Generation provides an insight into the lives, accomplishments and everyday struggles of young members of the LGBTQIA+ community from Eastern Europe. Our main protagonists (Luky, Liberty and Anton) met at a local ball and found their community among dancers, drag queens and other queer performers. Each of them is unique and expresses what it means to be queer in a distinctive way. The search for their place in the modern world unfolds against the backdrop of an emerging Czech and Slovak ballroom scene.
The film begins at a small local ball in Bratislava, Slovakia. We meet all our protagonists there. Luky as a competitor in performance categories, Liberty as part of the crowd and a support for her friend and Anton as one of the judges. From there we'll see them grow up from irresponsible teenagers to independent young adults, we will follow their journey to discover their own voice or witness the bloom of queer love manifested in a beautiful realtionship. At the end, Luky, Liberty and Anton will go on a road trip to a big international ball in Paris together with the rest of their ballroom house. Compared to where we had seen them at the beginning of the movie, we will be able to understand just how much they have grown in between - as a community, as performers and as individuals.
The narrative focus will be mainly on personal stories of the protagonists and the ballroom will be used as a frame for their story arcs and also as a place, where they meet as performers and as a community as well.
