The year is 1994, a small town in central Scotland. Best friends Johnno and Spanner share a strong bond. But now they are on the verge of adulthood and their paths in life are parting ways: Johnno moves to a better life in another city and Spanner will have to face an uncertain future on his own. But the upcoming summer will be different for them and for the entire country. Britain is experiencing an explosion of the free party scene and the birth of the largest countercultural youth movement in modern history. The boys, yearning for adventure and escape, decide to do one last thing together and go to an illegal rave. They steal money from Spanner's older brother and, under the vague guidance of D-Man, a DJ from a pirate radio station, enter an underworld characterized by anarchy, freedom and head-on confrontation with the forces of order. Beats tells a universally relatable coming-of-age story set against a backdrop of music as eclectic and electrifying as the scene it spawned. It's a contemporary tale of friendship, defiance, and the irresistible power of youth.

The Slovak singer is one of the most prominent personalities of chanson not only in Slovakia, but also in the Czech Republic, where she is often associated with the name of the emerging Hana Hegerová. Her charisma and specific timbre of her voice are a combination for a strong artistic experience. This is achieved by a feeling for combining music with an emphasis on detail and capturing the moment, so that each of the songs turns into a small theatrical performance with a captivating atmosphere with an exceptionally strong emphasis on content and message. In the songs of Szidi Tobias we find an ideal combination of text and music in the excellent interpretative performances of the band Szidi Tobias & Band. Their joint repertoire includes compositions from the author's workshop of Milan Vyskočáni, the author of the lyrics is Peter Lipovský.

A loose group of musicians who are happy to play anything. The main part of the repertoire consists of folk and country music, but we also like to delve into folk songs, swing or jazz. The more daring ones also try classical music.

A story from a ruthless time when nature was still untamed and full of danger, it tells the story of an apple cider distiller who loses everything, finds himself with his backside bare in the wilderness and must gradually level up to become the best woodsman far and wide. In doing so, he will measure his wit, strength and tenacity not only against the elements, but also against a strange animal, led by the titular hundreds of beavers. The survival story told in a video game revives the genre of silent slapstick for the new millennium. In this much more entertaining and imaginative paraphrase of The REVENANT, instead of DiCaprio, a modern Buster Keaton fights for survival, and his animal opponents are portrayed by people in full-body plush costumes in the style of Studio Kamarád.

Experience a unique cruise on the Brno Dam accompanied by the music of your favorite performers. The capacity is very limited and only a few individuals have the opportunity to sail on the same deck in close proximity to the performers.
