Filmat intre doua sarbatori de Paste, God’s Stone Quarry este documentar social ce exploreaza viata si traiul spiritual din Nordul Boemiei, zona marcata profund de expulsia populatiei germane dupa razboi. Odata cu populatia expulzata, a fost expulzata si memoria culturii ancestrale. Apoi s-au deschis minele de huila ce prevesteau decenii de regim comunist.

BLACK HEARTS (…THE EARTH IS NOT ROUND)
This film comprises the stories of four Roma families from the four Visegrad states. There are differences between lives in a settlement in Slovakia, in the Hungarian countryside as well as in cities in the Czech Republic and Poland, but they all have several important common characteristics, such as tradition, family solidarity and a belief in God, which are essential for all the people who appear in front of the camera. Their love of music and children is an equally central part of their lives. This documentary provides details of the culture and mentality of the Roma, which is based on their history. It also expresses some concerns about the future, in which the confluence of cultures could threaten their authenticity. Black Hearts is a film that not only looks at contemporary Roma, but also tells us something about their forebears who perished in concentration camps during the Second World War.

GOD’S STONE QUARRY (ONE YEAR IN NORTH BOHEMIA)
A social documentary which explores the living and spiritual landscape of North Bohemia, fatally marked by the post-war expulsion of the German population, which also meant the expulsion of ancient cultural memory. After that, open pit coal mining augured decades of social engineering by the Communist state. Giant housing projects as well as agricultural soil recovered with painstaking work are the locations where the film was shot, between two Easter Sundays.
