The 21st goEast (Festival of Central and Eastern European Film) will present several Slovak and co-production films. Vera Lacková’s feature debut How I Became a Partisan will world premiere in the Competition section.
Documentary film How I Became a Partisan investigates the fate of forgotten Roma partisans. The Roma director Vera Lacková’s search is based primarily upon the life-story of her great-grandfather, the Roma partisan Ján Lacko. The autobiographical quest brings the director closer to previously unpublished facts from Slovak history.
The festival program includes two Slovak minority co-productions: the feature film Winter Flies (dir. Olmo Omerzu) in the Specials section and the documentary Once Upon a Time in Poland (dir. Vít Klusák, Filip Remunda) in the Bioscop section.
