Kuku

KUKU is a fantastic story about things that live their own lives; a tale about our child-like and dreamy visions, searching for the secrets of the unknown world existing not on the surface but inside – inside of things, devices, mechanisms and toys. This first Slovak stereoscopic 3D film emerged in the entrails of a deserted Štiavnica building “Centrálka” in summer 2012. The film will be introduced by its director Henrich Žucha. It is a part of the Visegrad programme within the main section of the seminar.
