Following last year’s Central European documentary film festival Across the Border this year’s season provides a rare chance to compare a representative selection of works by outstanding documentarists from Austria (Michael Glawogger), the Czech Republic (Helena Trestikova), Poland/Germany (Stanislaw Mucha), Slovakia (Marko Skop) and Slovenia (Filip Robar Dorin). Some of the films offer an exciting insight into the lives and cultures of people in these neighbouring countries, while others deal with more global issues.

Reality Check is jointly organized by the Austrian Cultural Forum, Czech Centre, Polish Cultural Institute, Slovak Film Institute and Slovenian Film Fund and supported by the Platform Culture Central Europe and Goethe-Institut.
