We are bringing two films from this year’s KineDok collection to the 20th anniversary edition of the multidisciplinary Povaleč Festival. Between concerts, theatre performances, talks and workshops, you can also discover two remarkable Czech documentaries.

Friday, 7 August, 11:10: Mr. Nobody Against Putin

A humble teacher from a small industrial town films everyday life at his school – his amateur footage gradually reveals the reality of life in Russia during the ongoing war against Ukraine. The film Mr. Nobody Against Putin is now feared even by the regime itself, banned by court, and closely monitored to prevent anyone in Russia from accessing it. 

Saturday, 8 August, 15:00: What About Petey?

The documentary What About Petey? was filmed over three years using an observational approach. Director Martin Trabalík draws on personal experience to create an intimate portrait of the Jochec family and their everyday life, shaped by love, doubts, and perseverance. 

Thursday, 20 August, 18:00: Better Go Mad in the Wild

The film Better to Go Mad in the Wild follows the Klišík twins, eternal children living in the Šumava wilderness with their pets. Humor, daily routines, and the brothers’ contrasting souls create a magical portrait of life outside civilization.
