Slovak films in the Visegrad library Hey, You Slovaks / Hej, Slováci
Robert Kirchhoff / Slovak Republic / 2002 / 48 min.
/ video
Everyone who lives in this part of the world knows first-hand about the
many changes that the end of Communism brought in 1989. The borders opened.
Multiparty politics began. There was dancing in the streets. Streets were
renamed. But the euphoria was short-lived – at least for some.

Lemuela Gullivera
Martin Šulík / Slovak Republic / 2001 / 57 min.
/ video
A film collage based on the extensive diaries of Czech screenwriter and
director Pavel Juráček, one of the leading figures of the Czechoslovak "new
wave" in the 1960s, who died in 1989. The film reflects Juráček’s complex
personality, exploring his social activism, his creative work, and his private
life through a combination of archival footage and docudrama reenactments.

Murder Ballads and Legends of Ladomír / Ladomírské morytáty
a legendy
Peter Kerekes / Slovak Republic / 1998 / 56 min. /
16 mm
This impressionistic film is not meant to be an objective search for truth
about the lives of people living in the Ruthenian village of Ladomír. Instead,
it explores their subjective memories, often frozen in time and enclosed
within the rhythms of everyday life.

A documentary reflection on the totalitarian regime in Czechoslovakia and

totalitarian power.

Tiso's Shadows / Tisove tiene
Dušan Trančík / Slovak Republic / 1998 / 50 min / video
More than a half century has passed since the wartime Slovak State made
the fateful mistake of joining Hitler’s Germany and fighting at their side
against the Allies. This fact is all the more paradoxical because the head
of the Slovak state was a Catholic priest, Jozef Tiso, and his actions came
in direct conflict with his own spiritual mission and the official position
of the Vatican.
