There's a life to be lived (Musi se zit) is an immersive theater production that consists of the stories of several characters. Each of them aspires to be the exclusive author of their own life story and through their own imagination to shape the world around them and thereby find a relationship to it and their place in it.
In the film Musí se žít, the camera, and therefore the viewer, becomes a participant in the theatrical production, we will walk directly between the actors and participants during the interactive performance in non-traditional spaces.

We are planning festival and television distribution during 2025
In the film There's a life to be lived, the camera, and therefore the viewer, becomes a participant in the theatrical production, we will walk directly between the actors and participants during the interactive performance in non-traditional spaces. This method will place greater demands on implementation, but will bring a much more intense experience. The film must be a distinctive audiovisual spectacle in accordance with the style of the Pomezí project.
The film is an independent production. It will be distributed at festivals in 2025 and most likely also televised.
The aim of the campaign on Hithita is to collect basic financial support for the filming, which will take place in the second half of May 2024.
We will draw money for post-production from other sources. We will cut and sound the film in the winter of 2024.
Festival and TV distribution will begin during 2025.
