Mini Slate Sisters Abstract: Sisters is a feature-length essayistic documentary that uncovers the extraordinary story of women in a 1960s Czechoslovakian mental health institute. Using rare archival footage shot by nuns caring for disabled women, the film reveals intimate, unseen moments of compassion and resilience. Directed by Tereza Bernátková, the documentary intertwines history and personal narratives to explore themes of social exclusion, care, and the lives of women marginalized by society. With a unique blend of past and present, Sisters aims to bring visibility to a forgotten chapter of history, resonating with contemporary issues of mental health and gender dynamics. Bodies Abstract: Bodies is a raw and emotionally resonant narrative feature that delves into the complexities of aging, intimacy, and intergenerational relationships. Directed by Zuzana Kirchnerová, a Cannes Cinéfondation winner, the film offers a tender exploration of the human experience, challenging societal norms around physicality and vulnerability in later life. Set against the backdrop of a Czech-Slovak-French co-production, Bodies taps into the growing demand for authentic, character-driven dramas, while addressing universal themes that resonate across cultures. Perilune Abstract: Perilune is an intimate feature documentary that chronicles the life of Yemi A.D., a Czech-Nigerian choreographer and LGBTQ+ advocate. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Marie Dvořáková, the film follows Yemi’s journey of self-discovery, from his early struggles with identity to his pioneering role in the global dance and art scene. Through the lens of Yemi’s participation in the upcoming dearMoon civilian spaceflight mission, Perilune explores the intersection of art, identity, and space, capturing the universal desire for self-expression and freedom.
