Pavel hoped for a peaceful weekend. In his fifties and living alone, he plans to spend a few days at his mother’s house, mowing the lawn, helping out in the garden, and enjoying a family lunch. But nothing goes according to plan. His brother arrives late, his mother burns the lunch, and Blanka the neighbour wants to cut the branches hanging over the fence. Soon Pavel ends up in the hospital with an injured leg, followed by his mother after an unfortunate fall. Left alone, Pavel finds an unexpected companion in Blanka, his former girlfriend. As one mishap follows another, an old romance may get a second chance. A bittersweet comedy about a string of accidents and one great love.

A Few Branches Off is a dark comedy about searching for inner laughter. I personally believe that if we can find inner laughter in dramatic and even tragic situations, we can find hope. Our main character goes through a series of tragic and also darkly funny situations. When he finally finds the dark humour – he also manages to find love and a happy ending.

Fourteen-year-old Barbora lives with her father in the picturesque Slovak countryside. The love of her life is her horse Juno, who she competes with in western-style riding tournaments. But Barbora’s naive, childlike view of the world begins to crumble when she discovers that her father, a police officer, is involved in agricultural corruption. She doesn’t know it yet, but if she wants to set things right, she’ll have to make a sacrifice.
Michal Blaško is an emerging voice in European cinema, recognized for his authentic storytelling and nuanced exploration of contemporary social issues. His bachelor’s film Atlantis, 2003 (2017) was selected for the Cinéfondation competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017, marking his early international breakthrough. In 2019, his feature debut Victim (2022) was chosen as one of the 15 most promising global projects in the Cannes L’Atelier programme and had its world premiere in the Orizzonti section at the Venice Film Festival in 2022.

Growing up can sometimes make us confront the fact that reality no longer resembles a dream but entails disappointment, discoveries about ourselves and disillusionment with a world that previously could be seen as almost magical.
Barbora lives in a place that can be rough at times, but it gives her freedom, energy and joy like no other. For me she represents a much needed change, a wind that shakes the habits of this world, but one that leads her to make mistakes. It is how we cope with these mistakes that I consider formative for who we later become.
These moments can be very intense and hurtful to people who are close to us, and that is the core of Cowgirl.

Two brothers' search for the truth takes them from the cliffs of Ireland to the mountains of Tibet, into the coldness of death and the mystery of love. Where do we come from? Where are we going? These have always been central questions of the worlds of philosophy and religion, but ultimately they remain unanswered. To find the answers, two brothers embark on a metaphysical journey from Ireland’s Horse Island to the "Flying Mountain" in Kham, China. For one, it ends with a fulfilled death; for the other with the realisation that his path in life has not yet been explored.
Swiss director Nicolas Steiner studied at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg, Germany. In 2009, his 16mm short It’s Me Helmut, shot in one take, gained worldwide attention (over 260 festivals, 42 awards). His black-and-white documentary Battle of the Queens premiered at Berlinale 2011, followed by Above and Below (2015), which premiered at IFFR. The film won two German and three Swiss Film Awards. In 2021, Steiner directed and co-wrote the Netflix Original true crime series Dig Deeper. His first narrative feature, You Believe in Angels, Mr. Drowak? (2025) premiered in competition at the Shanghai IFF 2025 and was nominated in three categories at the 2026 Swiss Film Awards.
Katrin Renz has been a producer and CEO of Zurich-based tellfilm since 2007. She produces national and international feature films and documentaries.

Blue My Mind by Lisa Brühlmann (San Sebastián IFF 2017), Gloria! by Margherita Vicario (in competition at the Berlinale 2024) and Monte Verità by Stefan Jäger (Piazza Grande Locarno Film Festival). She is a permanent jury member of the Vienna Film Fund and a member of the European Film Academy, the Swiss Film Academy and the European Producers Club.
At the heart of The Flying Mountain is the journey of two brothers who depend on each other, yet cannot truly reach each other. Returning after their father’s death, they carry rivalry, grief and unspoken love into a landscape where myth and reality cannot be separated. The Flying Mountain and the element of water become guides through a world between fact and belief, body and spirit, control and surrender. I want to make this film because it asks how we live with loss, how we face the unknown, and whether reconciliation is possible when we finally accept that not everything can be measured, conquered or explained.

Hansi is the raw, darkly poetic, and tragicomic portrait of Hansi Orsolics, a working-class Viennese boxer whose life becomes a battleground for ambition, friendship, and the toxic legacy of masculinity. The film weaves together Hansi’s rise from a humble chimney sweep to a celebrated (and controversial) boxing champion, his complex friendship with TV reporter Sigi Bergmann, and the societal contradictions of post-war Austria – a nation eager to bury its Nazi past while embracing new myths of success.
Sebastian Brauneis was born in 1978. He took up work in film and television, rotating in various departments.

Orbrock productions has been invited to more than fifty international festivals and received major awards including Best Documentary Film at Karlovy Vary IFF, the Max Ophüls Prize for Best Film, Austrian Film Awards, the Thomas Pluch Screenplay Prize and the Austrian Film Academy Award for Most Popular Film.
We still live in a society where patriarchal, misogynistic structures persist; where victim blaming remains an unreflected, dominant norm – whether practiced in the privacy of everyday life or perpetuated by mainstream media. So how, then, do we tell the story of a figure like Hansi Orsolics? What does his “cult status” say about us as a society? How do we tell his story without absolving him of responsibility? Sports and fallen heroes have always been sure to catch the public’s interest. The protagonists of these dramas – stories that often oscillate elusively between performance (rules, venues, stages) and harsh reality (injuries, losses, private failures in “real” life) – are, of course, a major magnet for voyeuristic curiosity.

Tonda, 21, delivers food for a living and dreams of not ending up like his parents. When Kuba – his distant uncle and fixer for the wealthy Zelinka family – offers him a trial job, it feels like a door opening. He is sent to Switzerland to bring home Anička, the boss’s unstable teenage daughter, for her father’s wedding. At first she is just a task. But Anička offers him more than the job ever could: money and a future together, beyond Kuba’s rules. Tonda skips the exit to Prague. They fall in love and live out a fantasy. For Tonda it's real. For Anička, it lasts only until her family pulls her back. Tonda follows her, kills Kuba, and is "saved" by the Zelinkas, who give him a seat inside their family but no option to leave it.

Lesdenzero began from a personal question about origin. Born into a Romanian-Hungarian family, I grew up between two identities: the Hungarian in Romania and the Romanian in Hungary. The experience of being accepted or rejected depending on where one comes from led me to the questions within this story. In today’s Europe, where you are born still defines how far you can go. In Lesdenzero, a poor young man and a privileged girl become inseparable for a few days. He sees in her the path to a better future, while in him she sees a way to disappear. For her, rebellion is something her family can turn into a funny story. For him, the same rebellion can destroy his life. I am interested in the painful absurdity of this encounter.

To fund his mother’s treatment, shy IT specialist Andrii enlists in the military, but instead of a desk job, he is sent to the frontlines. As his engineering unit fights to drive the Russian invaders back to their borders, Andrii is mentored by the hot-headed, cynical Noah and a sympathetic Balkan-war veteran Croat. In the brutal fighting, he transforms into a hardened soldier code-named Thirteen. Directly on the border, he faces an impossible choice: save the Croat or ten others. In trying to rescue everyone, he fails. Left in the world with no right answers, Thirteen absorbs his mentors' traits, becoming the man he never wanted to be.

Noah is a start of a trilogy about Ukraine’s war for independence, and is centred around two figures: Noah, a cynical sapper commander, and Thirteen, a young soldier who gradually transforms into the biblical Noah – a figure of survival, rebuilding, and moral endurance. Each part of the trilogy explores a different phase of the war and a different emotional reality. Noah is the first film. The story begins as a war adventure and gradually transforms into a hyper-naturalistic tragedy where the characters lose everything – their friends, lovers, and health – yet are forced to keep moving forward. This is not a story about victory, but about continuing when there is no strength left.

Sasha, a Ukrainian refugee, survives as a cleaner in Dublin, funding her mother's dream of a home in Ukraine. She stops dreaming until she meets Barry, a washed-up actor who coerces her into film work to pay off a debt. On set, she feels something for the first time in years. A freak accident leaves her impaled with a spear, which remains her permanent companion, like the dream she cannot fully live. Barry ghosts her. Sasha auditions alone, fails, and despairs. When she confronts Barry, she finds him transformed too, burdened with giant, useless wings. They go to a Halloween party. Sasha meets a man dressed as Jesus and the spear is removed, though the wound remains. She finds Barry on a rooftop, ready to jump. She catches him. His wings open. They soar over Dublin like figures from a Chagall painting.

Screaming Girl began with an image that stayed with me through the war: a girl carrying a spear. Not a literal figure, but a symbol of how people survive, wounded yet upright. Sasha, a Ukrainian refugee in Dublin, cannot fit into the elevator, the system, or the story others write for her. Barry, a faded Irish actor, recognises something true in her. Two misfits who help each other remember how to live. I wanted to make a film about endurance that refuses pity. Laughter is my bridge to empathy. Dublin is not a backdrop but a character: its comfort and prosperity sharpen Sasha's sense of not belonging. I reject the social problem film. The act of trying is itself an act of defiance.

Prague, spring 1990. The Velvet Revolution has just ended and the country is balancing between euphoria and chaos. Four friends who used to organize underground concerts of outlawed bands receive an offer from President Václav Havel they can’t refuse: to organize a Rolling Stones concert in Czechoslovakia. A wild ride begins – translating the band's rider with dictionaries, sending faxes from the President's office, and scraping together the unprecedented sum of a million dollars. Incredibly, on August 18, 1990, Mick Jagger makes his entrance at Strahov Stadium and shouts: "Ahoj Praha!" A hundred thousand rock fans burst into tears of joy. A punk comedy based on a true story about fighting for freedom.

Jakub Kraus (born 22 August 1997) is a Czech film producer and cultural manager from Teplice. He studied at Palacký University in Olomouc and has been working as a producer for Bontonfilm Studios since 2022. As a production manager, he worked on films such as Hádkovi, The Word and Tiny Lights. As a creative producer, he worked on the films Kouzlo Derby, Když se zhasne and the upcoming feature The Stones Are Rolling to Prague.
The Stones Are Rolling to Prague is a film about hope – about what you can achieve when you truly want something. Like organizing a concert by the greatest rock band in history under a socialist regime with no English, no car, and using a payphone. Wild and untamed, just like the post-revolution era it portrays. Scenes crash into each other, and just when our heroes seem cornered, something even crazier happens – and they pull through. Grey Prague versus Western goods; socialist bureaucracy versus band management. Loser comedy at its best – characters at the centre of something historic, despite having no business being there. Humour runs underneath, not on the surface. For older viewers, a memory; for younger ones, proof that nerve and energy can get you anywhere.

Deep in the 1990s, Karl lives under the strict control of his father after surviving cardiac arrest. Feeling trapped by illness and fear, he finds escape in the rebellious clique surrounding Jenna: skateboard rides, abandoned houses, and dangerous train surfing. But the closer Karl gets to freedom, the more he repeats his deepest trauma – confronting death to feel alive. After Jenna is badly injured, Karl realizes his struggle is not only against his father, but against his own inner darkness. As the group barricades itself inside a squatted house during a police eviction, Karl must face his fear of isolation and loss of control.

Trainrider is set in the 1990s – a world of Discmans, train yards, anti-fascist stickers and basement parties, long before smartphones shaped adolescence. Yet beneath its nostalgic surface, the film reflects a generation that came later: the children of the Covid era – isolated, overwhelmed, and left alone with themselves. What interests us about Trainrider is not the medical story, but the emotional one: what happens to young people when they are held back too early, when silence turns into longing, anger and withdrawal. Fifteen-year-old Karl escapes the confinement of his body, his father’s protection and his family’s silence by diving into the worlds of skateboarding, parties and train surfing – searching not for freedom, but the feeling of being alive.

After a sex scandal with a student shatters her life, Ela flees Poland in her battered Volvo with Nadia, her best friend. On the road, they pick up Basia and Viorika, sisters taking their mother’s ashes to Albania, where they believe she once had a secret lover. As the four women cross Romania and the Balkans, sleeping in the car, clashing, drinking, laughing and breaking apart, their chaotic escape turns into a darkly funny, visceral journey through grief, shame, desire and female rage. Between dead mothers, failed marriages, erotic hunger and family wounds, each is pushed toward a reckoning. What begins as an escape slowly becomes a wild search for freedom, intimacy and rebirth – and the fragile making of a new tribe.

Four women end up in a car together. Each of them has an individual journey to make. They start as strangers and finish as a temporary tribe that was built on openness and trust. This is a portrait of modern women – witches, travellers, lonely souls, those who have suffered trauma, those who are lost.

Thirty-three-year-old assistant professor Vladan Borojević lives a quiet life with his girlfriend Nadja until he discovers that his father, believed dead for nearly twenty years, is actually alive. General Nedeljko Borojević, once a Yugoslav Army general, is now accused of war crimes and hiding from The Hague tribunal. Searching for the truth, Vladan reconnects with his estranged mother Duša and travels from Slovenia to Bosnia to trace his father’s last known address in Brčko. As Nadja reveals she is pregnant, Vladan becomes drawn deeper into a dangerous past where, even decades after the Yugoslav wars, people are still willing to kill to keep secrets buried.
