VISEGRAD SHORTS: EVERYDAY MAGIC

“Where is the place where I can feel peace?” – asks the Stone, the main character of one of the films in this program.

This selection of films is an invitation to an adventure in which the magic of nature becomes your main companion. In the noise of grass, the splash of water, the rustle of the wind – we are looking for serenity, balance and ourselves. These films take us to familiar but not obvious places – to where magic is not invented, but lives next to us.
