Czechia at the European Film Festival

From 18 May to 18 June 2020, the European Film Festival took place in Mongolia, in which viewers were able to watch fifteen films produced by the Member States of the European Union comfortably from home at any time.

The Czech Republic represented at the festival by three films: Winter Flies (2018), The Constitution (2016) and Out (2017). The first film won six statues of the Czech Lion in 2019, among others in the category of best direction, film and screenplay. The Croatian director of the film The Constitution, Rajko Grlič, a graduate of the Prague FAMU, received the Grand Prize at the WFF festival in Montreal in 2016. And the director of the third film, György Kristóf, a native of Košice and a graduate of FAMU, is known in the film world not only for his student films, but also for his nomination of his feature debut Out for the Un Certain Regard competition at the 70th Cannes International Film Festival.

Winter Flies- Mischievously self-assured Mára and somewhat eccentric Heduš set out into the frozen wastes in search of adventure – by car, naturally. After all, Mára's turning fifteen soon. A road movie about the flies that occasionally buzz around even in winter, and a story – before it ends at the police station – that tells of the elusive bond of boyhood friendship and the irrepressible desire to experience something, even if you don't exactly know what.

The Constitution- Four very different people live in the same building but avoid each other because of differences in how they live their lives, what they believe in, and where they come from. They would probably never exchange a word, but misfortune pushes them towards each other. Their lives entangle in ways that profoundly challenge deep-held beliefs and prejudices surrounding material status, sexual orientation, nationality and religion. Slowly, and even painfully, they begin to open up to each other and recognize the essential humanity each of them possesses.

 Out- Agoston, in his fifties, leaves his family to venture across Eastern Europe in the hope of finding a job and realizing his dream: to catch a big fish.
Carried by the wind and sea salt, it reaches the Baltic Sea. His journey immerses him in an ocean of unexpected events and encounters: a lonely woman, a Russian with hostile intentions and an astonishing stuffed rabbit.
