Mustang: Journey of Transformation + Dalai Lama Re

Dalai Lama Renaissance

(Dalajlamovská renesance)
Khashyar Darvich / USA, 2007 anglicky / české titulky, 81 min

At the edge of the Millennium, The Dalai Lama of Tibet invited 40 of the West‘s leading, most innovative thinkers in their respective fields to his residence tucked away in the Himalayan mountains of Northern India to discuss the world‘s problems and how we can solve them. What transpired was unexpected and powerful, and was captured by an 18 person, 5 camera film crew. The Wakan Foundation for the Arts took its crew to India and shot more than 140 hours of video footage during the week-long meeting and exploration of the future of mankind – enough gripping and beautiful footage to make a powerful and cinematic documentary. Dalai Lama Renaissance is narrated by actor Harrison Ford. *The screening is in partnership with NGO [Potala](http://www.potala.cz/). A discussion with members of Potala and another guests will follow.*

The Road

(The Road)
John Hillcoat / USA, 2009 anglická verze / české titulky, 113 min

The Road shares the premise of the novel on which it is based: a father (Mortensen) and his young son (Smit-McPhee) struggle to survive a number of years after an unspecified, devastating cataclysm has destroyed civilization, killed all plant and animal life, and obscured the sun; only remnants of mankind remain alive, reduced to scavenging or cannibalism. Man and boy are traveling southward, in the hope that it will be warmer. Along the way, they search for shelter, food, and fuel, and avoid bands of cannibals while trying to maintain their own sense of humanity. The man carries a revolver, but has only two bullets which he wants to keep in case they need to commit suicide. Flashback and dream sequences spaced throughout the narrative show how the man's wife, who has a much more expanded role in the film than in the book, committed suicide after delivering the child and losing the will to go on in a seemingly doomed world.
