President Putin's Birdie
21st Century, Prague, 1.27 million people. The life of each of them is a story. In a collection of short portraits, the film has set out to glimpse the souls of people who live in their own ways in the big city. Sometimes it’s their fault; sometimes it is mere coincidence, sometimes they live happily and sometimes they don’t. With a camera and a small crew we create a intimate atmosphere, so the portrayed person speaks with the author, not the equipment. The first ten-minute film President Putin’s Birdie, which was the impulse for this collection of documentaries, was established in a way that allowed us to enter the life of a man who was unwilling to communicate. Referring to the work of a professor Jan Špáta we want to maintain the close communication of the author (director, DOP) and the depicted story.
Keep Dancing
It's the end of the 80s and dramatist Václav Havel is having a conversation with architect Vlado Milunič about the fate of a corner house on the Rašín embankment that was destroyed during the war. Nobody in the heavy totalitarian atmosphere of the time could have guessed that the story of one of the most famous buildings in the Czech Republic has just begun. A few years later, Prague saw the construction of the Dancing House. Both beloved and reviled, the building attracts thousands of tourists into the city every year. They all want to see the artwork of the world-renowned Canadian-American architect Frank O. Gehry. Vlado Milunič’s authorship was, despite Gehry's clear statement, left somewhat unacknowledged. A film portrait of a man who never gives up on his vision in his own way.
