Eva Neymann : 2015
Pesn pesney
1905. A Jewish shtetl. Shimek and Buzja are two 10-year-olds, a princess and a prince from neighbouring palaces, sharing the same yard. What Buzja really means to him, Shimek begins to understand only years later when, far away from home, he receives the news that Buzja is about to be married off. Inspired by the acclaimed literary work by renowned Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem, the film offers a markedly stylised vision of the lost world of the Jewish shtetl at the beginning of the 20th century. Poetic scenes created using truly magical images are loosely connected via the motif of childhood love, while the film's imaginative form is imbued with nostalgia. Eva Neymann's third feature received the Ecumenical Jury Special Mention when it premiered in competition at Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2015.
