A 10-year-old girl longed for a puppy as a birthday present. Her disappointment was very big when instead of a puppy she got a father she had no idea was still alive. This documentary-based film tells a story about a very long-standing dream that kept him alive through many years and actually will come true only now, through this film.

Food Chain
2018 16+ 9 min
by Mari Kivi, Liis Kokk
On the one hand it’s dirty work and on the other hand gorgeous product. This is a film about making food and consuming it. The producing part itself is not always as clean as we hope, yet we turn the blind eye as long as the end product looks desirable enough. The film plays with the fantasy of making food and about the satisfaction we get when having delicious products.

After
2018 Adults 5 min
by Matouš Valchář
What will be after death? A lot of people thinking about this question. A lot of groups have very different opinion but majority of tham have one thing similar. Almost all religions are convinced that they are right. I wrote this movie, with my friend Karel Vžtrovsků, in time when we were slowly breaking out of the Christian prison in our minds, where we grew up and where we were imprisoned for a long time.
