Charlotta

Drama of the fated encounter of two strong personalities, whose impact on Czech history has been fundamental. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the Czechoslovak Republic would not have come into existence without Charlotta.
The documentary depicts episodes from the lives of Charlotta and TGM which have not been rendered so far, whose beginnings took place in Leipzig and then continued in Prague, Vienna and New York.

Storyteller of the Jungle: Otto Placht

Twenty years ago, Alice Růžičková made a documentary about the Czech painter Otto Placht, portraying his life with his native family in Peru, on the borders of the Amazon rainforest. In addition to everyday struggles for survival, Otto devoted himself to painting – the jungle became his lifelong central theme. The documentary confronts Otto Placht with the transformations over the preceding 20 years both in his personal and professional lives, as well as his views on the transformation of the Amazon habitat. The central narrative rests in the painter’s return to the Amazon with his son Pino.
