Revolution Girls

Documentary by Nataša Dudinski & Taťána Marková

Revolution Girls is the story of four Czech women of the ‘89 generation. Philosophy students in Prague in 1989, all took active part in a dramatic historic event, the Velvet Revolution, which brought down the Communist regime. The film explores the legacy of the revolution upon their lives almost twenty years later.

Jana Hybášková, a member of the European Parliament, keeps trying to save the world. Alena Ježková writes one book after another, probing the past for inspiration that the free but confusing present doesn’t offer. Alice Rahmanová, a successful if reluctant businesswoman, is channeling most of her energies into raising her three children, including an adopted daughter. Pavla Milcová has totally devoted her life to music and spiritual quests.

What’s left of their revolutionary ideals? How many revolutions must a woman go through before she reaches forty? And what can their stories tell us about the time and place they live in?

Produced by Jarmila Poláková, Film & sociologie Ltd.

Lullaby

Documentary by Natalie Haziza

Lullaby, a 50 min documentary by Natalie Haziza, tells the story of her two mothers, one of them Jewish South-African and the other her African nursemaid.
Rebecca worked for 10 years as Natalie’s nanny while leaving her 4 children in the village with their grandmother.

Elaine, Natalie’s biological mother, pursued a career, but could only do so only because Rebecca could care for her children while she was away.
Natalie, now a woman in her twenties living in Israel, returns to her homeland in South Africa to accompany them both on their journeys to discover the meaning of motherhood.
Sensitively and personally told, a contemporary look at motherhood, the figure of the Jewish Mother and the after-effects of Apartheid.
