We closely work with key int. festivals, broadcasters, distributors, sales agents, markets, or training initiatives and serve as the GATEWAY TO EAST EUROPEAN DOCUMENTARY FILM.

Burma Displaced

Director: Wehap Roland
Producer: Wehap Roland
Production company: Rowe productions

Austria, 2010, 90 min, Beta SP, HD, Current Affairs, Human Rights, Politics, Society

Burma's military leaders are content with their international isolation. It allows them to do what they want without paying attention to Human Rights. "Burma Displaced" is looking for people who were able to flee Burma. They live as illegal workers in neighbouring countries, in refugee camps in Bangladesh, as a tourist attraction in Thailand and lonely in the Swiss mountains. Burma only lives in their memories. We meet the Rap Group "Myanmar Future Generation" who sings about Burma's horrible history. The film shows destroyed villages and fleeing people. Their common hope: a better life and free Burma.

The Very First Cowboy

Production company: Golden Dawn

Úplně první kovboj , Czech Republic, 2010, 52 min, DVD, HD, Adventure and Sports, Creative, Portrait, Society

There are cowboys in the Czech Republic. They wear wide hats, jeans, western outfits and ride in the rodeo. But only a few of them have ever visited America. They have learned all they are good at from films and TV or from those, who have lived in USA for some time. We have chosen a group of cowboys and we took them to one of the working ranches in Arizona in the summer of 2009. What will a group of friends and at the same time competitors do while on a long journey in their votive land? Who will still be wearing a wide hat after their return from America?
