Synopsis
Pictures of the Old World / Obrazy stareho sveta is a poignant Czechoslovak documentary that offers an artistic and empathetic look at the later stages of life, inspired by five photographic cycles by Martin Martinček. The film intimately portrays elderly individuals living on the fringes of society, highlighting their resilience, simplicity, and humanity. Directed with sensitivity, it reflects on aging and the passage of time, capturing both the struggles and the quiet dignity of its subjects. Locked away for 15 years due to censorship, this trezorovaný film has since gained recognition, earning nearly thirty awards at film festivals worldwide and becoming a timeless masterpiece of Slovak cinema.
