- DirectorDavid JarabStarsStanislav MajerDalibor BusBrian CaspeThis loose adaptation of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness follows Robert Klein (Stanislav Majer) as he sets out to find his brother, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Klein finds himself on a journey where nothing is familiar or certain, a journey during which he is forced to reassess his relationship to his culture, to himself, and to his brother, whom he thought he knew so well... David Jarab's latest film is a highly original exploration of the conflict of cultures that we are permanently forced to reckon with, about the patriarchal superiority of the "white man," and about the right to plunder natural resources that are slowly but surely running out.
- DirectorPetr NikolaevStarsTomás TöpferAdrian JastrabanDaniel HeribanThe physician and politician MUDr. Frantisek Kriegel, the hero of the Prague Spring of 1968, who was arrested and kidnapped to Moscow on the night of August 21st together with five leaders of the party and the state (Dubcek, Cerník, Smrkovský, Spacek and Simon).

- DirectorDan SvátekStarsIvan FranekDavid SvehlíkGen SetoA film about the search for life and family relationships. About the unknown forces that guide our steps, about humility and destiny that reaches the edge of the mysterious, where reality dissolves into illusion and illusion into reality.
- DirectorTomás KleinStarsJaroslav CuhraTatiana DykováVladimír Javorský"Growing old isn't for sissies," states one of the characters from Jáchym Topol's acclaimed novel, which, according to one reviewer, is "a comical and brutal report from the flipside of life" and now appears loosely adapted into a film by Tomás Klein, one of the most talented Czech directors. This darkly grotesque drama sets off down more than one path. There's the real path - at times grim, at times crazy - via which Dad Mour, an itinerant actor, his wife Mum and their two sons try to return home; and then there's the imaginary one - more meandering and dusty - along which stirring intellectual youthfulness (or immaturity, as pessimists would have it) feuds with circumstances that force the protagonist to acquire wisdom. A restless and zesty cinematic feerie about love, fear of loneliness, and sons gazing intently at their father.
- DirectorTomas MasinStarsOskar HesJan NedbalAdam ErnestAdaptation of controversial real-life story from the 1950s.
- DirectorRobert HlozStarsAndrea MohylováMatej HádekMilan OndríkSet in central Europe during 2041, a female detective investigates the case of a murdered couple where a restoration team is able to bring one of them back to life.
- DirectorJana PoctováThe film is an inquiry into contemporary forms of alternative models of partnerships. For many protagonists, polyamory, open marriage or long-term lover-to-lover relationships present a fulfilling life style, but also a struggle with misunderstanding of the society or conflicts within their own relationships. The director follows the development of relations of her protagonists over several years, while in intimate talks, she searches for the joy, striving and insecurities brought along by such unusual faces of love, revealing a need for redefining partnership in our times.
