“It is a great pleasure to start working with Art Talent Show. We have been following the film for a year and are in a close relation with the filmmakers. We represent Tomas Bojar´s previous film “Off Sides” (2019). Adela is my schoolmate from FAMU and she is one of the main talents in the documentary industry. Her previous film Intensive Life Unit won the Czech national film award – Czech Lion. And the team behind the production company GPO Platform are good friends and we have known each other for many years. Therefore we will work with a special care on this title.”

Art Talent Show was produced by GPO Platform and co-produced by Czech Television.
