How I Became a Partisan 2021

This documentary film reveals how the lives of the descendants of a partisan fighter in the Second World War are still impacted by the events of that period, 75 years after the end of hostilities. In making her case, Lacková provides glimpses into her private surroundings. Over the course of her film, she also points out frightening parallels between the reign of the Nazi terror regime and the resurgence of racist currents throughout today's Europe.

Alica 2015

The protagonist of this short documentary film is Alica Sigmund Heráková, who discovers at the age of twenty-five that she has Roma origins on her father’s side. Through the series of informal interviews and the personal narration, which are recorded either in Alica’s apartment or in assorted nearby locations, we feel ever closer to Alica, as if we were sitting with her at the same table and listening to her opinion on a variety of issues relating to the Roma minority in the Czech Republic, including segregation at primary school, negative prejudices and even racist preconceptions towards Romani people in everyday life.

O Baripen 2023

The TV biopic maps the fate of Roma writer Elena Lackova in an intimately personal way. As viewers, thanks to the author's authentic voiceover and preserved archive footage, we delve into her memories of the Holocaust and the communist dictatorship in the context of the play Burning Gypsy Camp. We uncover the circumstances of growing up in a gypsy settlement, her first literary achievements, and her struggle to combine her personal and professional life. We also get to know her life story through her great-granddaughter and actress Alžbeta Ferencova, known as Zea or the serial Iveta (dir. Jan Hřebejk, 2022). The parallel between the life of the writer and that of her great-granddaughter, who also embarked on an artistic career and broke down stereotypes about the role of Roma women in society, creates a timely and transferable story. A crucial motif of the poetic film is also the unprecedented emancipation of the writer for the time.
