Controversial films this year too
At last year’s, eighth edition of the festival, audience enjoyed controversial documentary delicacies. This year, within off program, we are screening equally good controversial documentaries at late terms from 11 p.m.

“Guys and dolls” by British director Nick Holt reveals us the intimate portrait of loneliness and exclusion. In the film we meet four men who are not able to find their life partner. In order to get rid of loneliness, each of them has a silicone doll which is anatomically and with dimensions alike real woman. Relation with dolls is equally gentle and careful and resembles the men – woman relation in everyday life. One of the film’s protagonists owns eight dolls. When he asks his real, live girlfriend to sit by the table next to one of his silicone partners, she willingly agrees. “Guys and dolls”, in spite of it being controversial, tries to show that hope always exists and that love wins at the end.


 


Less controversial film, “Sex of the dinosaurs” talks about unique view on the basic life questions. Why we are sexually attracted to each other? What was the first sexual revolution for women? What is the mandate of our genes? Is it mathematically possible to choose the right partner? What is the family of the future? And, in the end, basic question which Spanish director Oscar Vega asks, why did the dinosaurs became extinct? The author focuses on the questions in what way do we connect and how are we born. The institution of marriage and traditional family are smashed into smithereens and lost their importance.


 


Some consider that we are at the edge of the end of civilisation. We believe that you will enjoy watching these films, and maybe identify in some situations.
