. He is readying a drama about former president Václav Havel and is now preparing to take it into production. The board of the Czech Film Fund has thrown its weight behind the movie, granting it support of 14.5 million Czech crowns (€560,000), and it appreciated the fact that Horák is not narrating “a descriptive biography, but rather a strong, dramatic story”. The crew behind Home Care will also be hard at work on the new project, Havel [+lee también:

, written by Ivan Arsanjev and produced by LUMINAR Film, which has received €425,451 (11 million Czech crowns) from the Czech Film Fund. Based on the historical events of the post-World War II period, the story follows a widow who is forced to leave home after her husband is killed; she then has to live in a forest with her children. The topic of the movie also revolves around the relationship between the Czech and German nations after World War II, specifically on and around the border between the two countries.

, a minimalistic drama set in a theatre, helmed by Chilean director Alejandro Fernández Almendras (see the news – €39,000).

The Czech Film Fund is also backing the production of a children’s adventure movie to be directed by Petr Oukropec, Teddy and the Mystery of Forest (Mazel a tajemství lesa), which incorporates fantasy fairy-tale elements and which the board called “an original film”. It received €290,000.
