Emmanuella is a beautiful young model living in Bangkok with her husband Jean, a few years older than her. Both of them are very tolerant in their marriage, which is why Jean doesn't object when one day a young Marie Ange visits their home and wants something more than friendship from Emmanuella. Based on a literary novel by Emmanuelle Arsan, Just Jaeckin's film was one of the pioneering films of the 1970s, mainly due to its (for the time) overt eroticism. It will be screened as part of a starred night at the cinema - from a print that was also screened in Czechoslovak cinemas in those days. It is perhaps also worth noting that this film has been seen in cinemas around the world by over 350 million viewers.

But is it really true that films ‘corrupt’ us and their impact on audiences should be regulated? Peter Konečný, editor-in-chief of kinema.sk, will guide you through the night of banned films.

The topic of the harmfulness of audiovisual materials in the form of negative, mainly psychological effects on individuals and society caused by their excessive and mainly unregulated consumption has not only been topical for the last few years. 'Harmful' elements, which are usually considered to include pornography, vulgarity, violence and, last but not least, propaganda and political incorrectness, were present in a specific form in films as early as the 1910s, when the phenomenon of cinema became part of a society-wide debate and a subject of interest in educational and scientific circles.

The ppf 2025 festival will also feature a concert by the Danish ensemble E/I, which will bring its minimalist and contemplative compositions to the Medený hámor complex.
E/I (emission/intention) is an ensemble based in Copenhagen, founded in 2018 by Polish drummer and composer Szymon Gąsiorek. E/I's music can be characterized as acoustic ambient or contemporary spiritual music, focused on collective sound and minimalist form. The group has released three albums – emission/intention (2019, Love & Beauty Music), extension/immersion (2023, Instant Classic) and their latest album explicit isolation, which was released in October 2024 by the Slovak label mappa.
The concert is an invitation to an intimate sound journey that transcends genre boundaries and offers a deep focus on the essence of sound itself. It creates a space for contemplation, where ambient delicacy, free improvisation, and precisely modeled sound matter meet.
