PODCAST | Matt Micucci interviews Ondrej Hudecek, director of Peacock from last year’s Future Frames at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

“One audience member at a festival described the film to me as ‘Barry Lyndon on crack’,” says director Ondrej Hudecek on his short film Peacock, who was a participant in last year’s program of the European Film Promotion’s Future Frames. We talk about the film, its inspirations and the reactions it received throughout the year of traveling through different festival since premiering at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival last year. But aside from this, we also take the opportunity of talking about Future Frames and his experience being part of the platform for up and coming talented filmmakers at the festival, what happened in the program and what he learned from it.

PEACOCK: Bohemia, 19th Century. Ladislav, the mischievous son of a landlord, terrorizes the village with cruel jokes. War breaks and Ladislav is forced to hide in a monastery, where he unexpectedly discovers his hidden desires. He returns home and befriends Jan, a sensitive young poet. Together they experience moments of undiluted happiness. However, passionate Ladislav soon becomes jealous and his endeavor to dominate Jan triggers a series of grievous events… A dramatic history of the rise of one of the most influential Czech writers, paved with flesh, bones and blood. A black comedy based on a true story, a queer literary encyclopedia, and a historical picture book in one.
