Dar Fur - War for Water is about a mission, that Tomo Kriznar, a human rights activist and Janez Drnovsek - a special emissary for former Slovenian President in Darfur, have made. While Kriznar presents Slovenian peace initiative to various fractions of Sudanese Liberation Army, he films very emotional talks with main rebel leaders and civilians. This is the first film about Darfur, which enables the rest of the World to have an insight into mentality of the rebels in Darfur and events, that took place there from February to June 2006. The documentary rises the question, why the peace, which was signed in Abudja in Nigeria between the Sudanese governement and Mini Minawa, self-proclaimed SLA leader, which occured to be the only signatory on the other side, was obviously just a political charade, which still continues today. This documentary reveals, that war in Darfur is not merely a war of people in Darfur against insignificance of Sudan and against Arabic greed for petroleum and natural resources, but it is above all - due to climatic changes - war for water. The biggest springs of water are found in Djebel Mara in Darfur, where the Furs live and happen to be the biggest victims of this war, indeed.

Damas de Blanco is a film about an unofficial social movement of Cuban women who are under strict surveillance by Castro's regime. Those women are wives, mothers and sisters of political prisoners. Their husbands, fathers or brothers have been imprisoned for years because they in some way expressed their doubts about political leaders and the system in Cuba. In most cases, they signed a petition for more freedom and multi-party system in Cuba, wrote critical newspaper articles etc. At the moment, the movement has some 60 active women members. Regular Sunday mass is the only activity they manage to do together. They organize protest marches on the Avenue in Miramar (a district in La Habana), all dressed in white and carrying pink flowers in their hands. The film depicts 12 most important Damas: their dreams, their fight, their everyday life, their families and their political activities.

In this monumental social-philosophic essay, director Karel Vachek follows up on his previous work. This time Vachek enters the film and, along with his assistant Luboš, becomes an active organizer and author of the action on the screen. In this way he reaches the boundaries of a genre in which a documentary film is not a real reflection of reality, but the result of a specific artistic creation. The work originates by an interaction between the film team and the film reality as well as by the reorganization of the footage new units. The second line of the film consists of conversations among several Czech scholars who are on a bus to Český Krumlov.
