Barbora Sliepková’s “Lines,” about the everyday urban bustle of Bratislava, has already brought her the Opus Bonum award at Ji.hlava Intl. Documentary Festival and the Karlovy Vary Docs in Progress award. But the helmer is looking forward to taking a “little break” from the city, developing a film about dreams, and teaming up with Lucia Kašová and last year’s Ji.
In “Lines,” produced by Barbara Janišová Feglová for Hitchhiker Cinema, she keeps the mood lighter, however, finding humor in the hidden workings of the city and the people who keep it running, including road painting crews. “These people are invisible. We rarely see them, but they take care of the city. Watching them work was like witnessing a dance: they know how to do it quickly and effectively. They are proud of their techniques.
“It was the first time we showed it to the audience, not just the crew, and I was almost surprised at how much they laughed,” she says.our DP Maxim [Kľujev] told me about him. Bratislava used to be known for people like him, just walking around, sitting in bars. He is the old world and serves as our guide.”
“We talked about this feeling when you are sitting in a café, overhearing other people’s conversations. I call it a ‘city feeling’,” she says, mentioning the work of sound designer Michal Horváth and Jonatán Pastirčák, responsible for the music. Creating the soundtrack to little interactions taking place in a big city, between the people but also their pets, including a chameleon and a snail.
