Czech-German BOO: Chilling Erotic Deadly Desire and Beer...
The animated program of the Czech-German BOO offers six stories that prove that animation can be playful, harsh, as well as gently poetic. From bizarre erotic fantasies in Carrotica, through an absurd encounter with Death in Alan, and strange ritual of frozen and lonely Detlev, to Hurikán's beer adventure in Žižkov. In A Stray, we follow a little boy's escape into a dark fantasy, and The Beetroot transforms a classic fairy tale into a grotesque parallel about authority.
A series that pushes the limits of animated film in every possible direction – from surrealism to raw reality, from humor to spine-chilling horror.

The winners are selected by a professional jury composed of female experts from the Czech Republic and Germany. The competition selection, which combines films from the best and largest festivals with promising discoveries, focuses primarily on works intended for adult audiences, but also gives space to films that appeal to children, teenagers, seniors, and other target groups. The festival thus transcends the usual boundaries – we are primarily interested in the quality of individual films.
