The feature-length documentary "Za slovo ručím životem" captures the sometimes uncompromising stances of the internationally acclaimed Czech writer Radka Denemarková, as well as the accessibility of the themes in her work to an international audience.

Her novels, which reflect both our present and recent past – such as Hodiny z olova and Peníze od Hitlera – have been translated into twenty-five languages. Thanks to her natural charm, openness and unique sense of humour during book talks and award ceremonies, the author has gained admirers all over the world.

Norbert Pfaffenbichler, master of the darkest avant-garde cinema, is also a veritable film archaeologist. No wonder, then, that his excavations of forgotten celluloid legacies unearthed a sensation: fragments of the very first film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, shot in Germany in 1922 and long believed to be lost, including test footage and outtakes. Pfaffenbichler and his team set about shaping this material of incredible historical value into a version that comes as close as possible to the original concept of its unknown filmmaker. Now, SLASH is unbelievably proud to present the resurrection of this lost film to the public for the very first time. (Markus Keuschnigg)
