INTRODUCTION

Antropofest is an international festival of movies with social anthropological themes.

Festival is held by eponymous NGO, formed by social anthropology graduates. The goal of the festival is to introduce the general audience to the movies that could also be one of the important study instruments of our domain. These specific documents will allow us to learn about the life of various human communities, social groups or individuals around the world.

During the festival we will hold debates on current projections and there will be also other accompanying programme.

We are looking forward to you!

The movie is playing out in the streets of Prague and presents us Jiří who has been earning a living as a street musician for a couple of years. In the interview, Jiří reflects the issue of the legitimacy in Prague and ever-changing permissions for street production.
