It is a great honour for me. I worked on this film for essentially nine years, so I value it all the more. I am especially pleased that the first festival screening is taking place in Ko\u0161ice. The film was made as a Czech-Slovak coproduction, we shot in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and I myself live in Moravia, close to the Slovak border. Ko\u0161ice is as far for me as Prague, and I feel at home here,\u201d<\/em> said director <strong>Tom\u00e1\u0161 Hub\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Wirbel<\/em> was deliberately shot in the Central European landscape of fields, away \u2014 in Hub\u00e1\u010dek&#8217;s words \u2014 from classic spectacular locations. <em>\u201cWhen somebody wants to film a fascinating landscape, they usually shoot it on sea cliffs or in high mountains. I wanted a film set in the landscape of fields \u2014 in our notoriously familiar Central European agricultural landscape. For most people there is nothing interesting about it, because we see it every day. And yet this is precisely our home, where we live,\u201d<\/em> explained <strong>Hub\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong>. With cinematographer Alan Soural, they spent years searching for a way to turn this landscape into a hypnotic cinematic space. Their joint \u201crehearsal\u201d project was the short film <em>Fibonacci<\/em>, which screened at more than fifty festivals on all continents.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IFF AF 26 | Rozhovor Tom\u00e1\u0161 Hub\u00e1\u010dek\" width=\"1220\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l-xeO-7X9Iw?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 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For <strong>Hub\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong>, the theme of home equals the theme of identity. <em>\u201cWhere I come from \u2014 I am what I come from. I think a lot of people today are experiencing something like uprootedness. I myself come from Moravia, I grew up in a panel-block housing estate to which I have no relationship today, even though I lived a large part of my life there. I feel that sense and the longing to escape somewhere to find a home very strongly. And I wanted to put it into the film,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film is set in the Sudetenland \u2014 the area of former Czechoslovakia where Germans lived before the war and were expelled after it. <strong>Hub\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong> also composed the music himself. <em>\u201cMusic is an extremely powerful tool for creating atmosphere, and this film is highly atmosphere-driven, so the option to compose the music myself was essential for me,\u201d<\/em>he said. During location scouting, in a dilapidated abandoned chateau he came across a broken baroque organ, recorded its sound and used it. The soundtrack also features the zither \u2014 an instrument typical of the Sudetenland, taken away by the expelled inhabitants of the region. <strong>Hub\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong> invited musical guests whose own work engages with the theme of landscape and home, including Jarda Svoboda from the band Traband and Petr Linhart from the band Majerovy brzdov\u00e9 tabulky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of genre, <em>Wirbel<\/em> moves along a thin line. <em>\u201cFor me, the ideal mystery film sits somewhere between reality and irrationality. It is not fantasy, where anything can happen. It is our real world, in which slightly strange things begin to occur \u2014 and they keep getting stranger and stranger. The important thing is that it is not a hallucination, not a dream reality and not a metaphor \u2014 it really is happening,\u201d<\/em> explained <strong>Hub\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong>. According to him, the plot of the film does not rest on an invented construction, but on ancient archetypes and rituals of reverence for the earth that reach through the Middle Ages all the way to the Neolithic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slovak producer <strong>Marek Urban<\/strong> of Sentimental Film, who brought the film into coproduction with the Czech company Mimesis Film of Jan Macola, considers the visual and sound side of <em>Wirbel<\/em> its main asset. <em>\u201cTom\u00e1\u0161&#8217;s previous films were already very strong visually. With Wirbel I had an amazing experience from the combination of image and sound. When I watched it on smaller display devices, it could not be compared at all with what you experience in the cinema. That is why I think it is highly appropriate that audiences have that experience in the cinema,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <strong>Urban<\/strong>, the cooperation between the two coproducers was extraordinarily organic. Part of the shooting took place in Slovakia with a Slovak crew, the Czech portion was handled by a Czech crew, and the entire editing, sound and image postproduction was carried out in Slovakia. Editing is in the hands of Martin Mala, sound of Tobias Poto\u010dn\u00fd. Financing the debut was not easy. According to <strong>Urban<\/strong>, a decisive role was played by the increase in the resources of the Slovak Audiovisual Fund after the pandemic, which made it possible to also support minority debuts, as well as the Slovak system of film incentives, which refinances a part of the costs incurred in Slovakia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>Hub\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong>\u2013<strong>Urban<\/strong> collaboration will not end with <em>Wirbel<\/em>. <em>\u201cI am very much looking forward to our next project, called Ve\u013eryby. It should be shot largely in eastern Slovakia and partly in Ukraine,\u201d<\/em> the producer added.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IFF AF 26 | Rozhovor Marek Urban\" width=\"1220\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CQTs0mfa62E?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 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actress <strong>Judit Pech\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong>, who plays the mysterious character of Agnes in the film, describes the role as one of the most interesting she has ever played. <em>\u201cShe is a character who is, on the one hand, real and, on the other, magical. She has something supernatural in her. What attracted me most about the whole story is that it takes place in a real time and space, but within that real world something supernatural starts to happen,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The theme of searching for and losing home strongly resonates with her personally. <em>\u201cThe theme of home is a lifelong one for me, because I come from the Hungarian minority in Slovakia. You essentially have two homes \u2014 and at the same time you feel that you have neither of them. But I think in a way it is the theme of every person. On the one hand we can function in society and feel that we belong somewhere, on the other we all have moments when we feel that we don&#8217;t fit in anywhere,\u201d<\/em> <strong>Pech\u00e1\u010dek<\/strong> said. She heard the music of the film as a whole for the first time at the opening of the festival and feels it very much helps the film come together as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IFF AF 26 | Rozhovor Judit Pech\u00e1\u010dek\" width=\"1220\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PqLxCBoxbIM?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 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second and final festival screening of <em>Wirbel<\/em> will be held by IFF Art Film on Sunday, 21 June at 19.30 at Kulturpark JOJ Play.
