The Mayor of Piešťany Award has been presented to director Miro Remo for his documentary 'Rather Go Mad in the Wilderness'. Franta and Ondra are inseparable twins, living outside of civilisation in the deep heart of nature. Their daily routine, steeped in peace and harmony with the surrounding world, begins to crack under the pressure of internal contradictions. Franta longs for freedom, change and adventure, while Ondra clings to the security of sameness. However, their dual existence shatters like a mirror, the same appearance, different desires.
The jury assessed „an exceptionally free, playful and imaginative cinematic language that, like a roller coaster of emotions, presents the world of twins living outside civilisation in all their poetry, prose, gentle dreaming, as well as harsh brutality.“
