On the occasion of the 21st festival edition, filmfriend, the streaming platform for libraries, presents eight works by Helena Třeštíková, the renowned Czech documentary filmmaker and winner of numerous international awards. The director, who in 2016 was the focus of the Tribute program section at Crossing Europe, gained international recognition through, among others, her multiple award-winning portrait trilogy MARCELA (CZ 2006; CE16), RENÉ (CZ 2008; CE09/CE16/CE22), and KATKA (CZ 2010; CE16). These three and five other films by Třeštíková will be available on filmfriend.at from 10 April.
Moreover, the Crossing Europe Collection, featuring films from previous festival years, has been augmented yet again and now comprises more than 40 feature and documentary films – jointly curated by filmfriend and Crossing Europe and in co-operation with the City Library of Linz.
New additions to the Crossing Europe Collection include:
