20 Shots
A film anecdote about wealth and poverty (2nd year, FAMU's documentary faculty). It covers a match during which nothing much happens except that someone wins and someone loses. Three contestants meet on a minigolf course: one rich, one poor and the documentary director. If the poor one and the director play all the holes in only twenty strikes, they will both receive a million crowns from the rich one. If not, then the rich one will receive 500 crowns from each of them. The drunken bet becomes a grotesque metaphor for the wealth of some and the poverty of others. In the world of investments you can make money fast, but also lose it fast.

Grandmaster
This documentary (2nd year, FAMU's documentary faculty) is a non-traditional film portrait of the best Czech chess player of the present day. When he was six, David Navara was given a book about chess by his grandmother. The game captivated him with its history and complexity. Even at that age, he was already reading and counting like an adult. At 16 he became an international grandmaster, at 18 the youngest master in the country in Czech history. This student of logic at Charles University, with a mild speech impediment, is mostly relatively modest, but not always. And despite the director's best efforts, he does not want to play games other than those he knows.
Story, screenplay and direction: Rozálie Kohoutová * Cinematographz: Lukáš Milota, David Navara * Editing: Adam Patyk, Rozálie Kohoutová * Sound: Ladislav Greiner, Rozálie Kohoutová * Produced by: FAMU * Production: Martina Knoblochová * Participants: David Navara, Vladimir Kramnik.
