Riccardo Schicci (Pietro Castellitto) founds the Diva Futura agency, which turns the idea of free hippie love into the golden age of Italian porn. The media influence of Schicci's activities, also thanks to the rise of private television channels, is so significant in Italian society that he gets porn star Ilona Staller, known as Cicciolina, into parliament. The brisk retro brings a sense of freedom of the eighties and nineties while raising an all-seeing finger at society.

2013 131 min.

In a city where cars have steering wheels in their trunks, people skate backwards, and a piano mixes cocktails, the idealistic and inventive Colin lives with only his two friends. One day, however, he meets Chloé. The fragile Chloé, who reminds Colin of his beloved Duke Ellington blues, falls ill with a mysterious illness: a water lily blooms in her lungs. The carefree world of lovers is fatally struck by the disease. A fantasy comedy, full of colours and tones, with Audrey Tautou and Romain Duris in a playful adaptation of the equally famous novel by Boris Vian.

Marie Tomanová travelled from Mikulov to the USA as an au pair, and today, she photographs campaigns for Nike, Instagram and fashion magazines such as Vogue CS. However, her name is known more abroad than in her native country, which offered few opportunities for the young painter. Paradoxically, it was only in New York, far from home, that she was able to grow up and find herself.

Come with your children to the festival, you will be rewarded not only with a beautiful film experience, but both smaller and bigger children can learn a bit of film craft and maybe one day they will grow up to be skilled filmmakers. After the screenings of Flow and Living Large, together with our partners we have prepared filmmaking workshops for children. Of course, there is also a discounted admission fee.

Even though the actors of LIVING LARGE are not flesh and blood, they are lifelike! Join us after the screening to create your own heroes for the animated film. It won't be difficult and you can soon be thinking up the plot of your future film! The workshop is designed for children aged 6 to 14 years, for younger children (under 10 years) we recommend parental assistance.

Those who dream of being able to fly, of their favourite toys coming to life and dressing themselves up can make their dreams come true with the pixelation animation technique after the screening of FLOW. Every movement is photographed, and when the film starts, things and people come to life in a completely different way than in reality. Pixilation is a very fast and simple animation technique. If you don't want to get into drawing and you're not confident in painting, pixilation is for you. All you need is good ideas.

We look forward to seeing you.

The ticket can be purchased together with admission to the film for 220 CZK. HERE for Flow in Edison and HERE for Living Large in Světozor. Tickets for the film only can be purchased below...
