ZACHYCENÍM DOTEKU: Capturing the human body on paper – a print is created on the surface of film material, a message about a person, about his presence here. / IF (PRESENCE OF) {ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ();}: Presence becomes the moment of separation and opens the questions hanging in time and space. What happens with one’s mentality when he spends more and more time in front of light blue blinking screens of personal computers? Can a virtual creature consisting of immaterial muscles 0 and 1 remind one of humankind? How far do we understand the processes of its own generated behavior and thinking that is enacted in non-space? / INTERNÍ SDĚLENÍ VE VĚCI ÚŘEDNÍ: Cheerful essay on civil servants in which the author, drawing on rich documentation of almost etymologic nature, describes the transformation or conversely the passivity of civil servants at a time when they have to adapt to outside influences of requirements and regulations imposed on them by the EU. / ČEKÁNÍ NA WIDORA: Organ music, people and their life fate under the dome of one church in Prague. / JARMILA SE VRÁTILA!: She spent her life dancing and as she says smiling, once she would like to dance to her coffin. Jarmila does not loose the energy to live and she gives it to others daily. However she decided to leave the USA after 28 years and return to the Czech Republic to end the story of her life here. // the Partner of the evening is The Department of Document at FAMU
