The Design and Transformation exhibition in Brussels tells the story of selected Czech design and its transformation in relation to societal changes. The exhibition was prepared on the occasion of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union and it was complemented by six films produced by its collective authors.

Czech music video Cimpoiasca boasts superb animation and plays with folklore elements and many visual ideas. Made by a FAMU graduate, the music video plunges into a nightmare and tells the story of a female friendship that is pungently delicious, just like homemade plum brandy.

Home, family, solidarity, help, independence, human being… These are just some of the words that resonated strongly in the stories of women from the Kuchinate organisation, helping female African refugees find a place in Israel through the craft of crocheting. The film follows the story of a woman who has lost her home and is forced to set out to find a better future.

When a young boy hides into a wall clock during playtime, his life shrinks into a single game of hide and seek. He becomes an old man with lots of memories of his childhood that manifest themselves in surreal scenes and tell a story about something which concerns every single one of us. Hide N Seek is Bára Halířová’s graduation film from the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague.
