Sláma’s Shadow Country to close Uherské Hradiště Film School

The 46th Uherské Hradiště Film School is set to close on Wednesday evening with the world premiere of Shadow Country by Czech director Bohdan Sláma. The film traces life in a village on the Czech-Austrian border between the late 1930s and early 1950s and was partly inspired by a massacre of ethnic Germans in South Bohemia shortly after the end of the war.

This year’s edition of the Uherské Hradiště was delayed and shortened because of the Covid-19 situation.
