British director Peter Strickland was an unknown quality for us before FebioFest. We never heard about him and didn´t see any of his films. But when we read he put his inherited money to sponsor his debut film and had to postpone editing his film until he got a job and earned the cash, we thought this is our man with DIY attitude and we have to make interview with him. It was very enriching meeting.

Very interesting guest or FebioFest 2019 was French actor and director Louis Garrel. He was born on 14.6.1983 in the family of director Phillippe Garrel and actress Brigitte Sy. His grandfather Maurice was also an actor as well as Godfather Jean-Pierre Léaud. In such environment,t it probably wasn´t possible to avoid continuation of family film tradition. Louis, who came to Prague minus his hair since he works on Roman Polanski film, firstly appeared in front of the camera at the tender age of six year. When he was 19 years old Bernardo Bertolucci casted him for the lead in his film The Dreamers. It was a breakthrough role for your Louis who never looked back since. For film Regular lovers directed by his father he got a César Award in 2005.He can not only write scripts, act, direct but also sing as he showed in the musical Songs about love directed by his regular collaborator Christophe Honoré. So in two words he is very extraordinary artists and talking to him was equally interesting.

Son of Kathy „ Gidget“ Kohner a Marvin Zuckerman is film producer in Hollywood. He is also President of ScriptCoach and Virtual Pitch Fest. and served for many years as Head of Development for Silver Lion Films, where he worked on „ Man on Fire“ or Crocodile Dundee in L.A.“ He is also a licenced psychotherapist.His idea and job in ScriptCoach is so interesting that we asked him for interview and he responded within a week.

If there was a term “one-man-show“ in film making, Alice Schmid would be the man, ehm, the woman for that. Zürich based Swiss director was the guest at Zlín film festival and revealed us incredible ways of her filming job.

There are not that many native born Indians in film business. So when we met at Zlín a Canadian actress Devery Jacobs, who belongs to Mohawk tribe and grew up in Indian reservation Kahnawa:ke near Montreal it sparked our interest. She and director Kirsten Carthew introduced their brand new movie The Sun at Midnight to Czech audience at the festival.
