It was a pleasure to interview the filmmaker Pepa Lubojacki for @theguardian.com about pigeons, systemic injustice, and the importance of writing, as her heartbreaking documentary is at times essayistic. If Pigeons Turned to Gold deserves all the acclaim & more. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/se...

V Respektu mám profil Jakuba Jansy, který letos reprezentoval Česko na největší světový události ve světě umění. Jeho film je inspirovaný Müllerovým Krtečkem i Kafkou a poukazuje na kulturní propagandu. Už od sportovního gymnázia Jansu zajímá taky výkonností kultura, kterou zesiluje internet.
