Ivan Passer (1933) is Czech script writer and director, member of famous Czech new wave in 60´s.He was close collaborator to Miloš Forman with who he is on friendly terms up until today. Mr.Passer was a star guest of Letní filmová škola festival in Uherské Hradiště. To meet face to face with legend like him is not every day´s treat so no doubt that every screening of his films with his presence and his master classes were packed to rafters. After being in film business for half a century, no doubt his stories were not dull.

Andrew Holmes is Canadian filmmaker who we were recommended by another director from country of Maple Leaf Jesse James Miller.It took some time since Mr. Holmes was shooting film but worth waiting for since his story is just incredible.

When we came to Zlín film festival we knew nothing about Paul Wells. Artistic director of the festival Markéta Pášmová told us he is interesting man and worth an interview. So we applied for that, hastily produced questions and waited. Within about 6 minutes we threw away our questions since what Mr.Wells told us was much more interesting than we wanted to ask him.

Turkish cinematography is not the one we would know very much about so we jumped at a chance to talk to the top Turkish actress and director Derya Durmasz at the Zlín film festival. It was really an eyes opening talk.

Sometimes the most known personalities don´t have the most interesting story, but those less known are just the opposite. That is the case of a Danish director Nils Malmros whose name didn´t ring the bell to us before the Zlín film festival. But when we got to talk to him, we were truly amazed. A very interesting man and a very dedicated independent filmmaker who was pleased with our interest and even gave us his complete filmography in DVD gift box.
