It is for the fifth time that Australia welcomes Czech and Slovak films during the one of a kind event Czech and Slovak Film festival in Australia<\/a> (CaSFFA).<\/strong><\/p>\n

As it became some sort of a habit, the 2017 edition once again introduced several changes \u2013 already in July, the new venue, Brisbane, introduced a selection of master pieces of Juraj Herz, and Sydney is only saying brief good-bye this year to welcome you in March 2018. Nevertheless, it all starts in Melbourne (September 15 \u2013 23) and continues in Canberra (October 11 \u2013 14), Perth (October 18 – 21) and Sydney (October 27 \u2013 28, and march 2018).<\/p>\n

This year CaSFFA takes place with at the moment ten feature-length and four short Slovak (co)production films confirmed.<\/p>\n

The 2017 edition of the festival for Melbourne and Canberra is programmed according to a theme of \u201cNeighbours\u201d<\/strong>, reflecting not only the relation between the two countries in the title of the festival, but also opens the door to, e.g. selection from the oeuvre of Hungarian director Zolt\u00e1n F\u00e1bri. Emblematic to the theme, opening film of the festival is none other than The Line<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>(d. Peter Bebjak), screened on Friday, September 15.<\/p>\n

As for Slovak (co)production films, this year the sole flag bearer of the \u201eold generation\u201c is Czechoslovak Th<\/strong>e Shop on Main Street<\/strong><\/em> (dir. J\u00e1n Kad\u00e1r). The most recent film production is represented by tha successful The Teacher<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>(dir. Peter\u00a0 Bebjak), \u00a0the holder of the Crystal Bear from Berlinale 2017 Little Harbour<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (dir. Iveta Gr\u00f3fov\u00e1), winner of the Czech National Awards Czech Lion for the year 2016 in several categories including the best film and winner of several Slovak National Film Awards The Sun in A Net for the year 2016 A Prominent Patient<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (dir. Julius \u0160ev\u010d\u00edk), winner of the Czech National Awards Czech Lion for the year 2016 for the best actress in leading role and the best supporting acterss I, Olga Hepnarova<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (dir. Tom\u00e1\u0161 Weinreb, Petr Kazda), or at domestic IFF Art Film Fest Ko\u0161ice awarded directorial debut of Tereza Nvotov\u00e1 Filthy<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. Further, CaSFFA screens two adaptations of crime novels by police investigator turned author Dominik D\u00e1n The Red Captain<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>(dir. Michal Koll\u00e1r) and Kidnapping<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>(dir. Mariana \u010cengel Sol\u010dansk\u00e1), as well as the other box office hit of 2017 All or Nothing<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (dir. Marta Ferencov\u00e1), or a film for the whole family Angel of the Lord 2<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (dir. Ji\u0159\u00ed Strach).<\/p>\n
