PODCAST |Matt Micucci interviews David Bartlett, director of the film Mousie.

A conversation with David Bartlett, director of the short film Mousie, which has been screening at various film festivals throughout the year. Eligible to be considered for an Academy Award, the film tells the story of a 7-year-old Roma girl hiding from the Nazis in Berlin in 1936 in an old Weimar Club. In this interview Bartlett talks about some of the major themes of the film, what art means in the face of tyranny and casting the role of the young protagonist of the movie.

Mousie : Berlin 1936. Hitler will soon host the Olympics, and the streets are being “cleansed” of Jews and Romani “Gypsies”. A seven-year-old Roma girl – Hélène – hides in an old Weimar Club, concealed by dancer Katharina who plans to escape Nazism and take the girl to America. Hélène won’t rest. Sneaking about, the little mouse sees everything – including the arrival of SS Hauptführer Otto, an awkward army conscript. Clumsily making a pass at Katharina, the junior officer is inches away from discovering the little mouse. Decisions have to be made fast, and only the child’s extraordinary and virtuosic ingenuity will save her now.

A conversation with David Uzsák, actor of Zdeněk Jiráský’s feature film Kryštof, that recently premiered at the 2021 Febiofest in Prague, Czech Republic. The film is set in the harshest Stalinish years in Czechoslovakia and the people involved in the illegal transfer of people fleeing to Germany. In this interview, Uzsák talks about working on the film, which also happens to have been his first major role in a movie. He also shares what he likes about both working in the theatre and film and tells us about his journey to becoming an actor.

Kryštof : Czechoslovakia in the era of the harshest Stalinism. Young Kryštof lives as a fresh postulant in a community of monks. In addition to silent prayers, he is also involved in the illegal transfer of people fleeing to Germany. During one of the events, he witnesses a brutal police crackdown on the students and decides to help them. He has no idea that Operation K is underway to destroy the male religious orders. This timeless drama from a tense time follows one man’s struggle for life and dignity.
