For the first time, goEast looks at the current works of directors who took part in past student film competitions. Work by former entrant Ivona Juka (2004 with SMECE / GARBAGE), for example, can be seen in this year’s documentary competition. And last year, Anna Melikjan presented her feature MARS in competition. How has the young talent developed? Let’s raise the curtain for:

CESKY SEN / CZECH DREAM
CZECH REPUBLIC 2004 / 35MM / COLOR / 87 MIN / OV W. GERMAN ST / DIRECTOR: Vit Klusak, Filip Remunda
This documentary casts a witty and provocative eye on the effects of increasing consumer activity in a post-Communist society. Both directors create a gigantic advertising campaign for a product that does not even exist, thereby revealing the manipulative powers of the market economy. The film won the FIPRESCI Prize in Ljubljana, among others, and was voted best Czech documentary at Jihlava. Filip Remunda took part in the student film competition at the first goEast-Festival in 2001 with his documentary HILARY A CHRIS NA CESTE / HILARY AND CHRIS ON THE WAY. He was a student at the State Academy of Performing Arts, Film and Television Department – FAMU in Prague.

A poetic tale of friendship between a little girl and an actor, who visits the girl’s village to bring sunshine and love to the hearts of its residents. Winner of the PRIX UIP 2003 Award at the film festival in Drama (Athens).

A VIRUS / A VIRUS
HUNGARY 2005 / 35MM / COLOR / 27 MIN / OV W. ENGL. ST / DIRECTOR: Agnes Kocsis

She studied at the State Academy of Drama and Film – SFF in Budapest.

PREDI ZIVOTA, SLED SMRTTA / BEFORE LIFE, AFTER DEATH
BULGARIA 2005 / 35MM / COLOR / 15 MIN / NO DIAL. / DIRECTOR: Dragomir Sholev
The end of the war. An officer executes the last prisoners of war in front of his soldiers. The only prisoners with a chance of survival are those who can play a Beethoven symphony on the violin.
