Summer + ZagrebDox = ZagrebDox Summer @Tuškanac Summer Stage

The two-day program ZagrebDox Summer will open the film April in France. The film follows April, a five-year-old English girl who is unhappy with her family's move to France. After the lockdown time spent in Paris, she moves to a small medieval village in southwestern France where her great-grandfather lived. Visiting the local cemetery, April thinks people are just sleeping there. She talks to her great-grandfather and firmly believes that he might eventually return. In order for her wish to come true, she will wish for it in the church and in the Pyrenees mountains waiting for the shooting star, as she saw in Pinocchio. While waiting for her great-grandfather, she meets his former friends and together with them she will open up to the world, reveal her inner self and forever change the world of adults around her.

After April, we will also meet Sany from the movie KIX. This 12-year odyssey grew out of director Dávid and Bálint's unusual friendship with protagonist Sany. KIX chronicles the evolution of Sanyi's life marked by family struggles, school problems and the weight of the fatherly role he had to take on when his sister was born. The film actively reflects on the relationship between the subject and the filmmaker and asks the key questions of documentary: does observation change what we observe, and in the case of KIX, the observers themselves?

At the 20th ZagrebDox, the Hungarian-French-Croatian co-production was awarded the Big Stamp in the Regional Competition, the Small Stamp for the best film by a young author under the age of 35, and the FIPRESCI award from the world association of film critics.
