BROKEN VOICES/ SBORSMISTR

by Ondřej Provazník

­

Czech Republic, Slovak Republic - 2025 - 104mins - World Premiere


SYNOPSIS

In the early 1990s 13-year-old Karolína, a gifted novice singer, is given the chance to become a member of a world-famous girls' choir, taking her place alongside her older sister and her other rivals in the ensemble. Karolína’s exceptional talent has caught the attention of the formidable and much admired choirmaster whose attention is wanted by all the young singers. What will be the price Karolína has to pay to become his favourite?


KVIFF NOTES
This highly anticipated psychological drama calls to mind not only the notorious case of Bambini di Praga, but also other devastating situations involving the clash of innocence and abusive authority. In a work entirely free of sensationalism, Provazník demonstrates focused humility and extraordinary sensitivity towards his fledgling actors as he depicts an exclusive world, in which desirable prestige goes hand in hand with premature coming of age.


GOOD TO KNOW
Selected filmography: A Town Called Hermitage(Poustevna, das ist Paradies, 2007, doc., co-dir. with Martin Dušek), Old-Timers(Staříci, 2019, co-dir. with Martin Dušek), Broken Voices(Sbormistr, 2025).

THEY COME OUT OF MARGO/ VGAINOUN MESA AP TI MARGO

by Alexandros Voulgaris

­

Greece - 2025 - 91 Minutes - World Premiere


SYNOPSIS

Margo’s older sister, vanished when she was 11 years old. A disturbing note of five words was found next to her synthesizer. Many years later, Margo, becomes a famous songwriter. Margo’s dark family past and her most inner fears, haunt her and force her to isolate herself to her apartment in Athens. For sever years she only sees Rhea, a nurse that looks after her and is her connection to the outside world. In her 40th birthday, Margo decides to throw a birthday party to reunite with her old colleagues. Her music producer Duke. Eve the singer. Her lyricist Gertrud. Her backup singers Serenata and Rozalia. During the party everything escalates when strange people and creatures start coming out of Margo. A psychosomatic effect that Margo shared with her older sister.


KVIFF NOTES

A tender horror flick, an experimental melodrama. Any attempt made to categorise this unconventional cinematic experience seems inadequate. Greek director and musician Alexandros Voulgaris, a.k.a. The Boy, brings us an unusually intimate, yet expressively powerful study of an artist on the brink of middle age. All fears, anxieties and hopes are embodied in the character of Margo, a songwriter who was once famous but who now isolates herself in her apartment. A party held to celebrate her 40th birthday and the emotions that are born there unexpectedly help Margo enter a new stage in her life.


GOOD TO KNOW

The director (who is also a very well known avant garde musician in Greece by the name The Boy is also the composer and editor of the film and together with his wife also a musician Miss Trichromi they have written the soundtrack.

PROXIMA COMPETITION


FUTURE, FUTURE/ FUTURO, FUTURO

by Davi Pretto


Brazil - 2025 - 86 mins - World Premiere


SYNOPSIS

In a near future where advances in artificial intelligence coexist with the rise of a new neurological syndrome, a 40-year-old amnesic man named K is taken in by a 60-year-old lonely clickworker on the poor side of a rainy Brazilian city. After using an addictive AI device in a course for people with the strange syndrome, K embarks on a tragic and absurd journey to find where he truly belongs.


KVIFF NOTES
In his 4th feature film Davi Pretto takes the viewer into the near future, where the development of artificial intelligence has brought with it increasing neurological problems. And this is what’s troubling 40-year-old protagonist K, who has lost his memory and can’t remember where he is from. The desolate man has to find out where he really belongs, and his journey through an unidentified city proves absurd, almost tragic. In the context of the ruling caste system, this low-budget dystopia articulates class inequality in contemporary Brazil, moreover, it touches on environmental issues and uses AI to create scenes in the film. The result is formally stimulating, engagé and, at the very least, cautionary.

HORIZONS


TRAINS/POCIAGI

by Maciej J. Drygas


Poland - 2024 - 80 mins


LOGLINE

Trains is a a deeply personal and contemplative journey through the 20th century, composed entirely of archival film footage. In this wordless film, full of beauty and bitterness, the excitement of adventure becomes a curse, and tears of joy mingle with the pain of despair.


KVIFF NOTES

By train on an outing, by train off to war. A film from a time when dining cars still had their own kitchens, but also a time when trains carried people to their deaths. Named Best Film at the IDFA, Trainssets out on a journey through collective memory, with hope and euphoria alternating with suffering and destruction. Polish director Maciej J. Drygas has edited together footage from forty-five archives into a documentary collage ranging from scenes of fashion shows in train cars to footage of mutilated soldiers – all without additional commentary. Trainsconfirms that, although the times may change, Franz Kafka’s words that frame the entire film remain searingly topical: Hope really isn’t for everyone.


GOOD TO KNOW

Trains got many awards including IDFA main award for Best Documentary and in Unarchive Found Footage Fest in Rome. Also pls check the amazing reviews in the google drive folder in the subfolder reviews.
