Better Go Mad in the Wild (Miro Remo, 2025, Slovakia, Czechia, 84 mins)
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.
It will be available here on kinedok.net from 12 to 18 November 2026. To watch it for free, request a voucher at films@kinedok.net during the availability period.
Due to licensing restrictions, the screening is available only in KineDok's partner countries: Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Croatia. Subtitles are provided in the languages of all partner countries.
Discussion premiere: 12 November at 7 PM (GMT+1)
Social anthropologist Juraj Buzalka joins moderator Irena Hůlová for a discussion, where we explore the broader context of the story, focusing on life outside civilisation and the ties between the two brothers, the choice between staying at home and leaving for the wider world, and the ways in which people live in remote places. The discussion (in English) will premiere on Thursday 12 November at 7 PM (GMT+1) on KineDok International's Facebook page and the Institute of Documentary Film YouTube channel. It will remain available to watch online after the premiere.
