A Good Mind Grows in Thorny Places
Dom Strom
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Screening as part of Karlovy Vary’s Future Frames, this hybrid documentary follows twelve year old Adam, a precocious and charismatic jack-of-all-trades living in Slovakia’s “hungry valley”. While Adam fights off boredom by means of odd jobs and underage drinking, underlying issues of nationalism and racism begin to emerge.
A Good Mind Grows in Thorny Places is featured in our Next Wave shorts program.
