Czech-German BOO: Freedom of Identity
The short film program of Czech-German BOO brings four distinctive perspectives on freedom, identity, and the boundaries of reality. From the surreal Berlin odyssey Inflatable Bear, Hourly, through the historical drama Death Lives about prison escape, to the sensitive Porcelain, where a child's desire for support clashes with harsh traditions. Finally, Cultural Front follows a young Ukrainian couple in Prague, balancing between their commitment to their homeland and their desire to escape.
All films share the courage to go against fate and seek one's own path – with humor, pain, and raw honesty.
Death Lives (dir. Lukáš Vacula, 2024, 27 min, Czechia)
Inflatable Bear, Hourly (dir. Elisabeth Werchosin, 2025, 12 min, Germany)
Porcelain (dir. Annika Birgel, 2024, 16 min, Germany)
Total duration is 75 minutes.
Films are screened in original language version with Czech and English subtitles.
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.
Supported by the Czech-German Fund for the Future.
