Presence is a film that explores haunting phenomenon<br />
through the nightmares and ghostly encounters<br />
of migrant workers in a city that is transforming rapidly.<br />
The ghost is not simply a dead or a missing person,<br />
but a social figure, and investigating lead[s] to that dense<br />
site where history and subjectivity make social life.<br />
The way of the ghost is haunting and haunting is a very<br />
particular way of knowing what has happened or is<br />
happening. The workers’ presence in the city is a ghostly<br />
matter as he enters and leaves the city invisibly. As<br />
they carry these stories in and out of many cities, the cities<br />
bear witness to these fragments positing an unsettling<br />
feeling between what we see and what we know. The film<br />
navigates through the here and now, with a quaint<br />
reference to the past and an uncertainty of the future. In<br />
the midst of this transformation is where our film is<br />
located to delve into the subconscious of the city and<br />
the worker who’s seething presence continues to linger<br />
in the air.<br />

priVate uniVerse<br />
by Helena třeštíková<br />
Honza was born in 1974 into the cheerless era of<br />
socialism in Czechoslovakia. At that time, his parents<br />
Jana and Petr lived in one room in the apartment of<br />
Jana’s divorced mother and her widowed grandmother.<br />
A few years later, the family moved from Prague to<br />
Liberec where Petr found a job and a little house for the<br />
family. When Honza was born, his father began writ-<br />
ing a family chronicle and he has continued to do so for<br />
37 years. ‘Family Diary’ shows not only the life of one<br />
ordinary family but also how Czech society has changed<br />
in the last four decades. Who are we, where do we come<br />
from and where are we going ?<br />
