Mord (Adam Martinec, 2024) Ponrepo a Asociace českých kameramanů

🟡 Family reunion like a pig! This is how you could describe the annual slaughter, which takes place in one family and in one cottage in a remote village in the equally remote Osoblažské. It's the only day of the year when the whole family gets together to chat, eat, drink and just live. But this year everything is different. The grandfather has been trampling since morning and doesn't know how to tell his son-in-law Karl that he is the last killer. Karl's daughter Romana misses her mother and her sister Lucia's marriage is falling apart. Her son Dušan does not know how to orient himself in the collisions of the female and male worlds, uncle Šupin has been dangerously sucking since morning, the butcher Tonda is hiding that he has wet patrons, and the problematic neighbor is plotting how to take revenge on everyone for his messed up life. During such a day, the resistance of mutual bonds is tested, revealing the strength and fragility of relationships shaped by traditions, love and grievances.

Murder is the feature debut of director Adam Martinec, a native of Krnov in the Moravian-Silesian region. "I often return to Osoblažsko. It is a fascinating island in the middle of nowhere, it is far from the Czech Republic and Poland. People either leave there or live there all their lives. It's a forgotten but beautiful place where beautiful people live," the film's director explains why he set his story there.

The screening is followed by a debate with cinematographer David Hofmann.
