Kino Kavalírka
Designed for filmmakers and 60+ audiences.
Discussion between the 60+ audience and filmmakers
What does the audience expect from a film based on the synopsis, photos from the film, poster, or trailer? The programme offers filmmakers unique insight into the expectations and thinking of audiences over 60, while allowing 60+ viewers to share their opinions, experiences, and feedback directly with filmmakers.
This is a unique format of moderated discussion led by Lucie Dubravay Trautenberg, in which representatives of the audience with rich life experiences will have the floor. Viewers aged 60+ will thus have the opportunity to express their opinions and attitudes directly to Czech filmmakers and provide direct feedback on whether the final form of the film met their expectations based on the promotional materials for the specific work. The event is part of the Visegrad Audiovisual LAB project.
The topic of discussion will be the film Wayfarer (with Jiří Lábus in lead role)by director Veronika Jelšíková and producer Pavla Klimešová, and the film Honey Bunny with producer Marcin Costilla-Kamiński.
