Týždeň slovenského filmu sa uskutoční v Kine Lumière, premietne filmy a bude diskutovať o kinematografii.
Týždeň slovenského filmu je bilančná prehliadka, ktorá hodnotí, reflektuje a oceňuje tvorbu slovenskej kinematografie a v roku 2022 vám už po ôsmy raz predstaví domácu tvorbu uplynulého roka. Tento rok sa uskutoční od 4. do 10. apríla v Kine Lumière - kine Slovenského filmového ústavu.
Sme radi, že po predchádzajúcich dvoch ročníkoch, keď sa vzhľadom na pandemickú situáciu prehliadka konala v náhradnom jesennom termíne a online, sa tento ročník uskutoční naživo v kine a v plnom rozsahu. Jej program bude naozaj bohatý, celkovo ponúkne Týždeň slovenského filmu divákom vyše štyridsať celovečerných a krátkometrážnych filmov. Po jeho skončení už po druhý raz vyžrebujeme víťaza Diváckej ceny Týždňa slovenského filmu.
Divácky najúspešnejším filmom roka sa stala komédia Známi neznámi, na ktorú prišlo viac divákov ako na najnovšiu bondovku. K najžiadanejším a najoceňovanejším patril hraný film Cenzorka Petra Kerekesa, ktorý získal celý rad ocenení vrátane ceny za scenár z prestížneho MFF Benátky, hlavnej ceny z festivalu v Cottbuse či Strieborného Huga z Chicaga. Zaujímavosťou minulého roka je, že z pätnástich slovenských celovečerných dokumentov uvedených do kín v roku 2021 až deväť režírovali ženy – filmárky mladej a strednej generácie – a získali za ne ocenenia na MFF Karlove Vary či MFDF Jihlava. Celovečerný animovaný film Michaely Pavlátovej Moja afganská rodina bol dokonca nominovaný na Zlatý glóbus.
Dve minuloročné novinky vznikli v koprodukcii s Ukrajinou. Ako symbolické vyjadrenie podpory nášmu východnému susedovi sme sa rozhodli uviesť Predtuchy Viačeslava Kryštofovyča na úvod prehliadky a Cenzorku Petra Kerekesa v jej závere. Týždeň slovenského filmu ponúkne aj bohatý sprievodný program – hodnotiace panely, semináre o Petrovi Pišťankovi a Jelene Paštékovej, krst DVD, diskusie so známymi hosťami i program pre deti.
Na podporu pomoci a integrácie ľudí postihnutých vojnou na Ukrajine ponúkame osobám z Ukrajiny so štatútom dočasného pobytu či azylu možnosť navštíviť projekcie v slovenskom jazyku či s anglickými titulkami zadarmo.
Režisér Peter Bebjak je v súčasnosti jedným z najproduktívnejších slovenských filmových i televíznych tvorcov. Diskusia s ním bude venovaná predovšetkým žánrovej rôznorodosti jeho tvorby vrátane seriálovej produkcie, uskutoční sa po projekcii filmu Správa. moderátor: Peter Gašparík Show more

Jan Šikl has spent many years seeking out and collecting private film archives – faded footage of family lives, celluloid echoes of celebrations and everyday moments. It was in this way that Šikl eventually came across several hours of footage showing the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. These unique images long remained unseen – until 2021, when historical memory awakened from its long slumber. Reconstruction of Occupation is a cinematic adventure of a truly archaeological nature in which anonymous faces are transformed into living witnesses of the events that sent Czechoslovakia into two more decades of bondage.
