Description of Pictures: NIGHTSIREN
Special Features: Q&A with filmmaker Tereza Nvotová and actress Natália Germáni
[SVETLONOC]
After a terrible accident destroyed her childhood, Šarlota (Natalia Germani) returns to her regressive mountain hometown for the first time in 20 years. She finds her mother's house burned to the ground, so she takes refuge in a supposedly haunted cabin, left abandoned on the edge of town by a witch. As wounds both old and new are reopened, she connects with Mira (Eva Mores), a rebellious young woman who has secrets of her own. It's not long before the locals start to suspect Šarlota herself is a witch, as strange and unexplainable incidents pile up. Winner of the Golden Leopard, Filmmakers of the Present competition at the 2022 Locarno Film Festival, Tereza Nvotová's beguiling, folk horror breakthrough is a ferocious takedown of the toxic patriarchy and the way society handles women who dare to break the mold. Winner, Best Fantastic Genre Feature Film, Best Actress (Natalia Germani and Eva Mores) – Special Mention and Best Direction – Special Mention, 2022 Sitges Film Festival. Official Selection, 2022 Fantastic Fest. DIR/SCR Tereza Nvotová; SCR Barbora Namerova; PROD Milos Lochman. Slovak Republic/Czech Republic, 2022, color, 110 min. In Slovak with English subtitles. NOT RATED
Also attending the screening was Radovan Javorčík, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Slovak Republic to the United States of America.

2022 photos: This year included major setbacks -- including Putin's invasion of Ukraine and the Supreme Court imposing the evangelical version of sharia law -- but also some steps forward like the results of the midterms. This website had its 20th anniversary in August, 2022. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: (February) a visit to see Dad and Dixie in Asheville, NC with some other members of my family, (July) a trip out west for the return of San Diego Comic-Con, and (October) a long weekend in New York to cover New York Comic-Con. Number of photos taken this year: about 386,000, up 2020 and 2021 levels but still way below pre-pandemic levels.
Partially Reviewed: Rough draft. I've gone through these pictures once, removing the worst ones, some duplication, etc. I usually take sequences of 4 or 5 pictures at a time and there are lots of near duplicates. I'll be doing a final review later (usually 2-4 months after the original event) and I'll cull the pictures down some more then.
