Tu+kino

Really! We’re just often invisible. This is true for both major film productions and prime-time television slots.

That's why Tu+kino is venturing into almost uncharted waters, bringing the best of Roma filmmakers for (not just) Roma audiences. The films are diverse, ambitious, and high-quality. Comedies, dramas, horror films, documentaries, animated films. Whatever you can think of, and all of it in Brno!

First, we present a rich industry program, led almost exclusively by Roma filmmakers. The audience will get a glimpse of their upcoming projects and meet them in person!

Tu+kino (Tu, from the Roma word for 'you') was born in the office of the independent internet media platform Tuke.TV.

Originally, it was meant to be a reflection of the international Roma festival Ake Dikhea, which takes place annually in Berlin. However, we quickly decided that we would rather organize our own independent festival. The Tuke.TV team, led by producer Alice Sigmund Heráková, put their heads together and is now bringing the very first Roma film festival in the Czech Republic.

The goal of the festival is to show that Roma people also go to the cinema and live through film. To show that our personalities are diverse, just like Romani culture itself, and that our stories do not conform to the stereotypes in which non-Roma filmmakers so often place us.

So, long live Roma film! We look forward to seeing you.
