Future Frames is a brand new section for this year's Karlovy Vary Festival, the aim of which is to present films by selected students at European film schools to viewers while also providing starting authors with the necessary environment for making further contacts. At Tuesday's discussion panel, audience members could pose questions to eight promising artists in person.
The Slovakian director Martina Buchelová, for example, spoke about the theme of her film Green Line, which is hope and relief for hard-working people who face up to their worries. "Right now we are planning a feature film about a particularly absurd reality show taking place at a shopping centre. We would like to show that people can find the strength within to not only seek out the simplest solution," said Buchelová about her further plans.
Czech Ondřej Hudeček, who is represented by the tragicomedy Peacock, revealed why he decided to devote his work to writer Ladislav Stroupežnický: "It comes from my fascination with the 19th century, which does not turn up very much in contemporary Czech film in my view." In his film Hudeček playfully adds animated segments to the acted sequences. This allows him to seek out a different approach to film without sacrificing clarity. The young Czech author considers his toughest challenge to be creating distance and ironic detachment.
