PODCAST | Matt Micucci interviews Michal Blaško, director of the film Atlantis, 2003.

Fred Film Radio is media partner of the European Film Promotion (EFP) Future Frames, which presents ten outstanding young directors with their latest work at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Director Michal Blaško, from Slovakia, was among those selected this year, and he presented his short film Atlantis, 2003, at the 52nd Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. In this interview, Blaško tells us about the road trip structure of the film, the cultural context of his film, how the credibility of the intimacy between the two leading actors of his short was essential, about his experience as part of this year’s Future Frames, and more.

Atlantis, 2003: a young Ukrainian couple plan their getaway to Germany. It’s 2003, four years before Slovakia integrates into the Schengen Area. The Slovak-Ukrainian border is controlled by smugglers and human traffickers – Martin and Denisija have no idea of the traps that await them. They only have each other but they are willing to sacrifice much to fulfill their dream.
