This Spanish producer, son of famous father Carlos Saura appeared on Prague FebioFest 2016 three years after Geraldina Chaplin, who was a part of Saura´s family for many years. It would be a sin not to meet and talk to somebody whose artistic pedigree is as rich as Antonio´s.

When we spotted the name of director Rebecca Cremona from Malta on the guest list of FebioFest 2016 we applied for an interview. Since we knew nothing about film industry in this country, who better to ask than the first Maltese director who directed a first feature film called Simshar which she also brought onto this festival. Despite her young age of 26, we admired her focus and determination. She has a wise head on her shoulders.

France was always one step ahead of other countries. Let it be in politics, fashion, painting or... film. After all, it were brothers Auguste Louis and Louis Jean Lumiére, who invented cinematograph and had it patented in 1895. Film was born soon after that and cinema-name taken from „cinematograph“ became important part of the culture life not only in France but around the world.

Honestly speaking, about three weeks before FebioFest 2016 we didn´t know who Peter Mullan is.Although he acted in films like “Braveheart”, “ Trainspotting”, “War horse” or “Harry Potter” one can´t know everybody and also doesn´t watch everything.But he won our hearts very quickly not only by his openness, with his views but also for the guts how he worked hard to get from street gang to become a recognized actor and director.What we like at him is the fact that he calls spade a spade, doesn´t talk any pre-chewed bullshits and he makes films that pinch into wasp nest, that try to change something.

The main star of FebioFest 2016 was German actor Daniel Brühl. Despite having many awards under his belt and starring in films in Europe and America, he has both feet on the ground. He can be described as intelligent Mr. Nice Guy. He speaks six languages and is still modest, approachable and friendly. Generally a pleasure to deal with.
