It was a love place for the writer Ota Pavel. He went fishing with his father to the romantic Berounka valley near the medieval Křivoklát as a little boy and returned here all his life.

The Costa Rican forest is home to more than five hundred thousand species. It hides an unprecedented secret of life, of which people have revealed only a tiny fraction. Most of the animals captured by the film's authors excel in their unusual abilities – basilisks running on the water surface, leaf-turning frogs, sloths living forever upside down, or Atta ants, which many pharmaceutical giants would envy their production of their own antibiotic.

Film: Paintings Woven with Forks (director: David Macháček)
She has survived for one hundred and twenty years, but her future is not guaranteed. Magnificent works of art, woven from wool, cost a lot of money and are suitable for large representation halls. The tapestry workshop in Valašská Meziříčí is the oldest in the territory of the former Czechoslovakia and has survived both the economic crisis and changes in political regimes. In addition to restoration, it is one of the few in the world that specializes in converting modern paintings to tapestries. However, finding a buyer and also a place for such works of art is becoming increasingly difficult.
