Summer Cinema — Silent Friend + introduction by Kamila Dolotina

GER, ENG + CZ subtitles

A meditative drama unfolding across three separate eras — 1908, 1972, and 2020 — all connected by a single ginkgo tree in the botanical garden of a historic German university town. Starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Léa Seydoux, the film quietly explores curiosity, connection, and what it means to observe the world beyond human perception. It premiered in competition at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, where it won the FIPRESCI Prize.
