The Kafkaesque process of renovating the Slovak National Gallery has been going on for over a decade without the end in sight. Throughout these years Alexandra Kusá, the general director of the Gallery, has fought alongside her father – the architect appointed to the reconstruction – and colleagues to turn the public's dream of a modern cultural institution into reality. However, the crazy bureaucratic rollercoaster full of never-arriving permits and constant battles with the contractors has made Alexandra question whether her efforts are in vain.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with the film’s directors, Lena Kušnieriková and Jana Durajová, as well as an employee of the Slovak National Gallery, Veronika Němcová, about the filmmaking process, the current situation in the Gallery, and their visions for the near future. If her health allows, Alexandra Kusá, the former general director and current Senior Curator of the Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art, will also join as a guest. The discussion will be hosted by Eva Križková, the director of the One World Film Festival.
