A German unit finds a refuge in the abandoned house next door and performs their mission, so Sam’s unsuspecting family becomes the bait for the coming enemies – the Russians.

Five stages are emerging, sometimes seven, sometimes more. While their indications may help us navigate, it’s nevertheless just a never-ending period of mental upheaval. Sometimes loving, at other times frightening. There is no formula, no manual. Memories are not healing because they indicate the past. The reality of the past. Rocks is a film about empathy for the minerals shaped by mourning processes. A story about the influence of disappearing water on the formation of rocks, and the memory of grandparents who were taken away from the director by the pandemic. Paula Ďurinová’s film blends the emotional and environmental, taking us on a journey to a life that is no more.

A comedy about an altar boy from a small conservative village in Slovakia. Miško (12) needs to solve a tricky problem. He wants to be just like his brother Lukáš (17) – big, strong and reasonable. Yet he’s still small, naïve, and secretly in love with his brother’s girlfriend Linda (16). While trying to impress her, a misunderstanding results in the village starting to think that Miško is gay. He vainly tries to shake off the accusation because nobody wants to play with or talk to him. The only one left is Jesus. Will they be able to overcome the prejudices together?

The End of Jarmila tells the story of a murder in reverse. Jarmila goes back in time to prove her innocence. As she leaves her prison cell, she returns to a train station where she is “unarrested” by the police; then to her mother’s funeral, where her sister, Júlia, accuses her of murder; then to a railway bridge, where she and Júlia dispose of their mother’s body; and, finally, to her living room, where a bullet exits her Mother’s forehead, finding its way back into the chamber of Júlia’s gun. All that’s left to do now is to return the winning lottery ticket, which started the whole mess and let the story end – or begin.

She’s young and ready for it. But when she finally gets her first period, it doesn’t feel how it should. It’s a nightmare. Period Drama is a short four-chapter animated film, with plot points referencing the biological events during the menstrual cycle. Menstruation connects the vignettes like a secret thread. Through the humorous gaze of a character, the film analyses menstruation’s essential and often baffling presence in life. While commenting on adolescence, gender politics, sexuality, motherhood, and Orlando Bloom, she takes us on a surreal trip that begins with her first period and continues as she, much like an egg, matures.

The Kafkaesque process of Slovak National Gallery’s renovation has lasted over a decade with no end in sight. For all those years Alexandra, the gallery’s managing director, has fought alongside her father, the architect appointed to oversee the reconstruction, to deliver the dream of a modern cultural institution to the wider public. Between perpetually-postponed permits and on-going battles with constructors, this bureaucratic rollercoaster makes Alexandra wonder whether it’s mission impossible.

Shedding the Mist follows Johana and Ivo. They’re a couple who are trying to navigate their desires in an anti-utopian world where access to images is severely restricted. The possibility of the literal clouding of their vision continually hovers over the film, creating a constant underlying sense of unease. The film targets the importance of images, and the emotion and value we attribute images in our lives. The story is a response to the general oversaturation of images in contemporary society, and our inability to properly process such images as they’re often just a filler between us and reality.

Geamăna is a small Romanian village in the Transylvanian valley. It’s been sinking into toxic sludge for almost 40 years, incrementally buried by mud released from nearby opencast mining. Thousands of tonnes of waste flow into the valley every day. Near to a tailings pond, there live only a few widows and a young woman called Valerica who fled her despotic husband and moved into an abandoned house inherited from her father. She has drawn a line under her past life. Amidst a devastated surreal landscape, Valerica tries to live anew and finds her own little paradise.
