Both the contemporary and archive Slovak cinema will be brought to Georgian audiences: the Slovak film showcase, entitled Made in Slovakia, will take place in Tbilisi, Georgia at the Amirani cinema during November 14 – 17, 2013. It will bring six full-length films and a collection of four shorts.
The showcase will be opening by the archive title Before Tonight Is Over (1965), honouring its director Peter Solan, who recently passed away. The other archive title available at the event will be the significant title of the Czechoslovak New Wave – The Sun in a Net (1962) by Štefan Uher. Both of the films will be introduced by the Slovak Film Institute representative Viera Ďuricová.
The contemporary production will be presented with both fiction films and documentaries: besides the Slovak Oscar nomination film Made in Ash (2012) by Iveta Grófová, introduced by the co-producer Robert Kirchhoff, the Tigers in the City (2012) will be presented by its director and producer Juraj Krasnohorský. The documentary production will be represented by the Karlovy Vary-premiered Exhibits or Stories from the Castle (2013) by Palo Korec and the winning film from Jihlava and Leipzig Normalization (2013) by Robert Kirchhoff, who will, once again, present this film personally.
The showcase will also offer a chance to get to know the Slovak short production, screening the most successful and awarded titles of the last years: The Last Bus (2011) by Ivana Laučíková a Martin Snopek, The Star (2012) by Andrej Kolenčík, Momo (2012) by Teodor Kuhn and The Pandas (2013) by Matúš Vizár.
The event is organized based upon bilateral co-operation and upon the intergovernmental cultural agreements, the organizers being Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic, Embassy of Georgia to the Republic of Slovakia, Georgian National Film Center and the Slovak Film Institute.
