Czechs TodayBenjamin Tucek - director of "Devcatko" (a few days in the life of a teenage girl)

One on OneBobby Garabedian - maker of an Oscar-nominated film in Czech, a language he cannot understand
Director Bobby Garabedian comes from Hollywood but it was a short film he
made in the Czech Republic, in the Czech language, which got him nominated

is a moving film about a man, brilliantly played by Vladimir Javorsky, who
is forced to choose between saving his son and saving a train full of
strangers, when an accident occurs at the rail bridge he operates. Bobby
Garabedian visited many European countries before deciding to make Most
here - I asked him why the Czech Republic.
