Petr Šprincl will present his latest film Morava, Beautiful Land – An experimental western horror film set in Moravian Slovakia, an essay about the mythology of Bohemian and Moravian nationalism is a sarcastic depiction of meaningless tribal rituals that promote national identity but severely restrict “otherness”. The film sabotages the sanctity of folklore through the use of archaic film and video formats containing a number of mistakes and defects, a schmaltzy mix of brass band music, and the contrapuntal nature of the commentary.

Petr Šprincl studied under Václav Stratil at the FAVU Studio of Intermedia in Brno. He is the co-founder of the Flesh & Brain art project, which focuses on producing audiovisual projects. His filmography include short films Blue Box (2013), Warped Ján (2014) and Morava, Beautiful Land (2015–16), all made in collaboration with Marie Hájková.
