Village B.

synopsis

The village of Blšany can be seen as a monument to the 1990s, to the hopes and disillusionment of the post-socialist era. A large football stadium was built here, where the local club played professional-league matches while the small school in the village was threatened with closure due to the small number of pupils. People here sometimes longed for a return to the days of state-enforced joint activities.

“We've opened up our genre, which is neither reporting nor feature film, and it can be a playful, weird, realistic experience.”
