Výhra admirála Kotrby

Former sailor Kotrba, nicknamed the Admiral, has one dream, to take his own ship to sea. He's been building it for five years and now it's finished, but he still needs money to buy an engine. He asks for financial support from his friend Pošmurný. But he uses the excuse of his daughter's wedding. He has money set aside for a dowry, so he cannot lend his friend anything. Then Kotrba gets lucky - he wins a voucher for goods worth 10,000. But there's a hitch. He can only redeem the voucher for goods at the local unity, where he has become the 100,000th visitor. But Admiral Kotrba is foxy about it. Let's see what he comes up with!

Mother's Meat and Freud's Flesh

Inspired by the early trash films of John Waters, the film stars Estdelacropolis as Demira, a gay porn actor struggling with both his emotionally complicated relationship with his mother Esther and his desire to break out of porn and into mainstream movies. He connects with a Freudian psychiatrist who is convinced that his homosexuality stems from an unresolved Oedipus complex which he has repressed by denying his natural attractions to women, to which the psychiatrist's proposed solution is to hypnotize Esther into believing that she is a man so that men will become the gender that sexually repulses Demira; in his career, he is ambivalent when the first "mainstream" role he is able to land is a gore film in which he will play the victim of a cannibal family for which Esther has also been cast as the mother.

The Beer Drinker's Guide to Fitness and Filmmaking

"My father says if people don't come and see this movie, we'll starve," says Tate Sullivan, introducing his father's "The Beer Drinker's Guide to Fitness and Filmmaking." (Send canned goods to Auteur-Aid, care of Fred G. Sullivan, Saranac Lake, N.Y. 12983.) "The Guide" is the Sullivan family album, a grandiose home movie focused on the days and nights, life and times of "Adirondack" Fred. And you thought Molly Dodd was a schlemiel. Fred, the most self-obsessed creature since Garfield the Cat, produces, directs, writes, edits and stars in this offbeat, low-budget work. Fred's four children, Fred's tiresome wife Polly, Fred's business partners, psychiatrist, internist, teachers, neighbors, creditors, sommelier and so forth comment on the 42-year-old ne'er-do-well.
