16 Sept 2026 | IF PIGEONS TURNED TO GOLD (CZ/SK 2026, Pepa Lubojacki)

CZ/SK 2026, D: Pepa Lubojacki, 110‘, OV with English subtitles, DCP

“Have you ever grieved someone who hasn’t died yet?” IF PIGEONS TURNED TO GOLD is an uncompromising long-term observation of the director’s personal family. Over the course of five years, Pepa Lubojacki follows in particular her brother David and two cousins – all three chronically addicted to alcohol and struggling with social decline, homelessness and deteriorating health. Setting aside any stigma, Lubojacki engages with her family members as someone who is affected by the situation herself, as a carer, as someone who is occasionally rejected, and as someone who seeks to understand their shared family history, in which severe addiction has repeatedly been both a manifestation and a cause of misfortune. Simultaneously, possibilities emerge on the horizon showing how a feeling of security and loving relationships can flourish under these circumstances.
