🍂🍁No rest for the Czech film this fall. 🍂🍁
𝗚𝗶𝗿𝗹 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 (Amerikánka) by director and producer Viktor Tauš (Clownwise, Thawing Out) will see its international premiere in the Official Selection Competition of the 28th edition of the PÖFF | Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, running 8–24 November.
In his fourth feature film, Tauš delivers a poignant story about a forsaken girl raised in a bleak Czechoslovakian orphanage told as a vivid kaleidoscope of emotions, dreams, and memories brimming with colors and wildly energetic movement. Formally, the film is reminiscent of films by Terrence Malick, Harmony Korine, Benh Zeitlin, or Gakuryū Ishii, and represents a stylistic stand-out in this year's Czech feature film production.
Girl America was produced by Viktor Tauš through his production outfit Heaven's Gate Productions and coproduced by Václav Dejčmar, Barrandov Studio, VOYO, Česká televize, BFILM (SK), K Swiss Film (CH), PFX, and Lonely Production. The film also received financial support from the Czech Film Fund / Státní fond kinematografie (€338,000 in total), Creative Europe – MEDIA / Kreativní Evropa program (€50,000), Slovak Audiovisual Fund, along with Ústí Region, Plzeň Region and Karlovy Vary Region.
Congratulations! 👏
