(From The Slovak Spectator)
The fourth year of the Minority Film Festival will take place at the Tatra and Mlados cinemas in Bratislava from October 58.
The four-day festival opens with the screening of Chaeipe, a Czech film about orphans, and Ninas resa (Ninas Journey), a Swedish-Polish production about aPolish girl who survived the Warshaw Ghetto.
The second day of the festival will be dedicated to commemorating Czech documentary filmmaker Pavel Koutecky.
During a round-table discussion to be held the same day, a group of Finnish writers and playwrights writing in Swedish will discuss the coexistence of national minorities.
The section Roads of Hope on Saturday will feature documentaries by Czech film director Kristina Vlachova on three topics: the deportation of Jews from Slovakia during the Second World War; the life of Romanies in the Czech Republic; and Jan LangoS, the director of the National Memory Institute, who died in a car crash earlier this year.
Other films to be screened during the festival include award-winning films Hotel Rwanda by Terry George, M"j Nikifor by Krysztof Krauze and The Secret Life of Words by Isabel Coixet.
