The Epochal Trip Of Mr. Tříska To Russia

Few years ago teacher Jaroslav Tříska found his grandfather's legionary diary. His grandfather spent several years in a Russian captivity during the First World War. Jaroslav takes grandpa's diary and sets out on his life journey. The route goes exactly in the footsteps of grandfather's journey, following the axis Prague – Moscow – Yekaterimburg – Novosibirsk – Chita - Vladivostok.

On his journey he reveals not only external changes that have occurred during the time. He also tries to find answers to the questions - Is Russia a democratic state? What form of democracy is it, where journalists are beeing shot and Putin still seems to be dangerous. A feature-length version of the film will be available.

The screening will be followed by an audience discussion with director of the film Filip Remunda and main actor Jaroslav Tříska! The screening is in partnership with the International Documentary Film Festival Jihlava.
