Two films will represent Slovak cinema at the 47th edition of IFF Rotterdam<\/a> (Jan 24 \u2013 Feb 4, 2018). Full-lenght fiction The Flower Shop<\/em><\/a> will be internationally premiered in the competition Bright Future and the new film by Jan \u0160vankmajer Insect<\/em><\/a> will be screened in the world premiere within the section Signature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Flower Shop<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (d. Ruben Desiere) tells a story about three men digging a tunnel in the back room of a Flower Shop in order to rob the bank. Unfortunately, they have to face the unexpected circumstances so we are witnessing the tragicomic discussion filled with disillusion, self-pity and opportunism. The usual concept of a heist genre is enriched with deeper psychology of a character and creative visualization.<\/p>\n

Belgian director Ruben Desiere isn\u00b4t a newcomer to IFF Rotterdam. He introduced his mid-lenght documentary Kosmos<\/em> here in 2004.<\/p>\n

Whereas The Flower Shop<\/em><\/a><\/strong> competes in the young talents section, Insect<\/em> by Jan \u0160vankmajer is listed in more renowned autheuresque segment of the festival. By combining feature with animation \u0160vankmajer creates remarkable satire on theatre, film, dreams and everything that makes humans human \u2013 and insects, insects. We are watching the group of amateur actors rehearsing The Insect Play<\/em> by the \u010capek brothers on a raised platform in the empty bar as they are slowly growing into the characters which – implying in the context of a surrealistic nature of \u0160vankmajer\u00b4s work – leads to frightening transformations.<\/p>\n

Rotterdam IFF 2018 will also held a Big Talk with Jan \u0160vankmajer on Sunday, January 28th at 12PM where all participants will have a great opportunity to learn more about his work.<\/p>\n
