Pongo Calling
The award the film won is named after the highly respected and renowned Czech director Pavel Koutecký. Koutecký is known for his documentary films, which are characterized by deep social awareness and a sensitive approach to topics. It is an award that carries great weight and brings with it a great honor.
The entire crew that worked on this film deserves great thanks and praise. Without their commitment, determination and professional approach, this film could never have become a reality. But above all, Tomáš Kratochvíl must be highlighted. He was the one who was at the birth of this documentary and became its main creator.
This is the third award that this exceptional film has received, and it brings us great joy and pride. The film PONGO CALLING thus becomes one of the best films of recent times.
The Czechoslovak Roma Union, which is one of the main supporters of this film, has something very special in its plans. He plans to screen the film publicly in socially excluded areas of the Ústí nad Labem region. The aim is to introduce viewers to the life of the Roma community and draw attention to its problems, but also to its beauty.
