Czech Filmmakers Shine at Novemberfestivalen 2024

Marvelous News from Sweden: Czech Films Head to Novemberfestivalen 2024

We are thrilled to announce that three exceptional Czech films, nominated by the A-FilmTeens festival in collaboration with FAMO – The Film Academy of Miroslav Ondříček in Písek, have been officially selected for participation in Novemberfestivalen 2024, one of Sweden's premier film events for young talents.

The three films represent a diverse range of topics and artistic styles, each pushing creative boundaries:

  • D.A.R.I.O by Stella Zettlitz – This visually stunning 3D animated film, created at the Art High School SUS in Ostrava, delves deep into the cyberworld, exploring the eternal human need for connection in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

  • Are You Man Enough? by Matouš Kaleta – A thought-provoking short animated documentary that boldly examines the meaning of manhood and the societal pressures of embodying the so-called perfect image of a man. Kaleta, the A-FilmTeens 3rd-year Best Czech School Film Award winner, returns to Sweden after competing with his earlier animated film Good Morning, Vera.

  • Madonna by Marina Malysh (FAMO) – A powerful narrative set in the aftermath of war, where a new mother, Marie, wrestles with dark thoughts and hallucinations, as she struggles to reconcile her fears and anxieties with the reality of raising her child in a world ravaged by violence and despair.

Out of many outstanding submissions from around the world, these three films have earned their place among the ten international films selected for Novemberfestivalen 2024. This achievement not only highlights the exceptional talent emerging from the Czech film scene but also the significance of storytelling that resonates on a global stage.

The filmmakers will present their works in Trollhättan on November 22-23, 2024, and we encourage everyone to support them in this remarkable achievement. For more information about the festival and the full program, please visit www.novemberfestivalen.se.
