]]> An interview with Nick Ferenc, a Romano actor. On social media, he breaks down prejudices and humorously breaks down stereotypes that he himself struggles with. In the podcast Hlas Heroine, he describes how difficult it is for a Romani actor to break free from pre-given expectations and not just play flat caricatures. For example, he sees a positive change in his role in the upcoming series from the creators of the hit Most!, where he plays a prisoner. “It was important to me that I didn’t play ‘Roma’.

As he himself says, even top screenwriters can throw away their talent and write a flat caricature when writing Romani roles.

]]> As part of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODHIR) conference in Warsaw on October 13 focusing on Roma human rights the screening of the movie That Boy follows the journey of Toby, a former Roma refugee, and Mirek, a former neo-Nazi, as they confront the roots of hate and explore the possibilities of dialogue and reconciliation. It revisits the largely untold story of anti-Roma violence that spread across parts of Central and Eastern Europe in the 1990s.

]]> Works from the National Film Archive of the Slovak Film Institute have undergone the process of digitization and are progressively available in DCP (Digital Cinema Package) format, and therefore can also be screened in digital cinemas.

The almost thirty-two-minute film Upre Roma [Upward Roma] (1955) by Dimitrij Plichta is not only an example of contemporary Slovak documentary work, but also the first film in the history of Slovak cinema that attempts to portray the Roma ethnic group with empathy.

]]> A very recently (2025) restored documentary about Burgenland Roma from 1954. The young boy in the movie just died this week in Vienna. May he rest in peace.

The commentaries and the story are still fraught with stereotypes and misconceptions and with a view on assimilation versus integration. Still worth looking at it.

]]> The film Chaplin I Spirit of the Tramp tells the story of the Roma identity Charlie Chaplin. It will have its Czech premiere in Prague: during the Khamoro Roma Culture Festival on May 27 at the Atlas Cinema and on May 30 at the central Municipal Library.

The film captures the family’s search for the Romani roots of the famous actor, director and screenwriter, whose character The Tramp has become one of the most iconic symbols of world cinema. The documentary is based on the testimonies of members of Chaplin’s family, especially his son Michael. But it also draws from a unique family archive. Viewers will get to know previously unpublished materials and get to know Chaplin from a new perspective.
