Together with Ivan Mistr\u00edk\u2019s family, she curated a special section of the festival featuring three notable Czech and Slovak films in which he delivered unforgettable performances. In addition to honoring her uncle\u2019s memory, Mistr\u00edkov\u00e1 also presented the TV miniseries <em data-start=\"544\" data-end=\"550\">Miki<\/em>, a continuation of two feature films, <em data-start=\"589\" data-end=\"595\">Miki<\/em> (2024) and <em data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"615\">\u010cern\u00e1k<\/em> (2025). In this interview, she shares her thoughts on the selected films for the Milan Lasica Award section and the making of these popular titles about a former Slovak underworld boss.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IFF AF 25 | Zuzana Mistr\u00edkov\u00e1\" width=\"1220\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4NJ0-_SWj9Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"1038\"><strong data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"1038\">Why did you and your family choose to include <em data-start=\"851\" data-end=\"873\">The Higher Principle<\/em> (1960), <em data-start=\"882\" data-end=\"909\">Happiness Comes on Sunday<\/em> (1958), and <em data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"945\">Archimedes\u2019 Principle<\/em> (1964) in the IFF Art Film lineup? What do these films say about Ivan Mistr\u00edk as an actor?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"2039\"><em>I have to start with The Higher Principle (1960). For me, the character of Vlast\u00edk Ry\u0161\u00e1nek encapsulates who Ivan Mistr\u00edk was \u2014 and the kind of acting we love him for: tender, youthful, yet deeply humane, a person fighting for justice. I\u2019ve loved this film since childhood. Happiness Comes on Sunday (1958) is a comedy where we see Ivan in a different light than we\u2019re used to, as he\u2019s best known for his tragic roles. Here, he\u2019s charming and lighthearted, yet again his character stands out among the trio of friends as the most touching and human. I only discovered Archimedes\u2019 Principle (1964) when director Martin Holl\u00fd and I were making a short documentary about Ivan Mistr\u00edk twenty years ago. We were working with a private television network that not only aired the documentary but also ordered Archimedes\u2019 Principlefrom their archive \u2014 a film I hadn\u2019t seen before. I was really impressed by it. It\u2019s a satire by Andrej Lettrich that, unfortunately, feels disturbingly relevant today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2041\" data-end=\"2112\"><strong data-start=\"2041\" data-end=\"2112\">How did Ivan Mistr\u00edk influence you \u2014 personally and professionally?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2114\" data-end=\"2821\"><em>Coming from an acting family \u2014 J\u00e1n Mistr\u00edk and Ivan Mistr\u00edk, both actors with their own paths \u2014 shaped me profoundly. I was fifteen when Ivan passed away, and it\u2019s both moving and remarkable that, forty-five years later, we still remember him as someone we loved \u2014 someone who embodies both beauty and tragedy. His death was a huge tragedy \u2014 for the whole of Czechoslovakia, and especially for our family. Growing up in a theatrical environment also had a big impact on me. When I later studied theatre, it didn\u2019t intimidate me \u2014 theatre felt natural, a normal part of life. Acting was simply part of our family dynamic. And Ivan Mistr\u00edk always approached his craft with deep humility, which set an example.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2823\" data-end=\"3062\"><strong data-start=\"2823\" data-end=\"3062\">You also came to IFF Art Film to premiere the <em data-start=\"2871\" data-end=\"2877\">Miki<\/em> miniseries at the Garden Cinema. Why did you and the creative team decide to adapt the story of Mikul\u00e1\u0161 \u010cern\u00e1k into a series format, and what would you like viewers to know about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3064\" data-end=\"3883\"><em>Initially, we planned Miki as a standalone film. But as we delved into the story, we realized it naturally split into two parts: the first exploring how an ordinary village boy became a mobster, and the second focusing on the mafia wars of the 1990s. One film would\u2019ve been either too long or too shallow. So we \u2014 along with the director and screenwriter \u2014 decided to make two films. Since we had a TV partner, TV JOJ, we realized a miniseries format would work better for broadcast. Screenwriter Miro \u0160ifra added several new elements, so the miniseries isn\u2019t just a chopped-up version of the films \u2014 it has a different narrative structure and includes scenes not featured in either film. That\u2019s why we decided to prepare a version specifically for television, and viewers at IFF Art Film will be the first to see it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3885\" data-end=\"4045\"><strong data-start=\"3885\" data-end=\"4045\">Why did you and director Jakub Kroner choose to tell Mikul\u00e1\u0161 \u010cern\u00e1k\u2019s life story, and what makes <em data-start=\"3984\" data-end=\"3990\">Miki<\/em>, <em data-start=\"3992\" data-end=\"4000\">\u010cern\u00e1k<\/em>, and the <em data-start=\"4010\" data-end=\"4016\">Miki<\/em> miniseries relevant today?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4047\" data-end=\"4907\"><em>There were several reasons. First, my co-producer Rado Gerek \u2014 who had always dreamed of making a good gangster film \u2014 acquired the rights and was passionate about the project. I then reached out to Miro \u0160ifra and Jakub Kroner to see if they were interested. But first, we had a deep conversation about what the topic entails and how we wanted to approach it. Even though we were very mindful in our treatment, there are still ongoing debates about whether we\u2019re glorifying a murderer or giving him publicity. But our main motivations were twofold: to create a high-quality genre film \u2014 something still rare in Slovakia \u2014 and to help the younger generation understand what happened in the 1990s and how its consequences linger today. All the corruption and mafia ties we see now are remnants of that era. That\u2019s why we felt it was essential to tell this story.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4909\" data-end=\"5374\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><em>I\u2019m thrilled that over 800,000 viewers have seen the two films in Slovak cinemas. I think this generation, which knows little about the \u201990s, now understands how small steps led to a situation we\u2019re still dealing with today. Those were our motivations, and I\u2019m incredibly proud of my colleagues \u2014 I believe they\u2019ve laid strong foundations for genre filmmaking in Slovakia. We\u2019re now also working with a British sales agent to promote the miniseries internationally.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>The 31st IFF ART FILM is made possible thanks to the support of:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Organizer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ART FILM FEST s.r.o.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Co-organizers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mesto Ko\u0161ice \u00b7 K13 \u2013 Ko\u0161ick\u00e9 kult\u00farne centr\u00e1 \u00b7 Visit Ko\u0161ice \u00b7 ART FILM FEST, n.o. \u00b7 LGM, s.r.o. \u00b7 FORLIVE<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Financial support:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Audiovizu\u00e1lny fond \u00b7 Nad\u00e1cia SPP<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Co-financed by:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ko\u0161ick\u00fd samospr\u00e1vny kraj through the Terra Incognita programme<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Main Partners<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: n\u00e1rodn\u00e1 lot\u00e9riov\u00e1 spolo\u010dnos\u0165 TIPOS \u00b7 Slovensk\u00e1 elektriza\u010dn\u00e1 prenosov\u00e1 s\u00fastava, a.s. \u00b7 CODES Brand House<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Main Media Partners: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TV JOJ \u00b7 Pravda \u00b7 Eurotelev\u00edzia<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Automotive Partner: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moris Slovakia<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Advertising Partners: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Press \u00b7 U.
