Selecting just eight was a real challenge, but the final line-up now reflects the region\u2019s diversity of countries, genres and themes, from historical epics and folk horror to children\u2019s stories and bold contemporary voices. We look forward to spotlighting these stories at KVIFF and helping pave the way for new book-to-screen partnerships across Central and Eastern Europe,\u201d Th\u00e9ron said.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cTrue Way Out,\u201d journalist Patrik Banga\u2019s memoir about growing up in a Roma community in Prague\u2019s \u017di\u017ekov neighbourhood in the 1990s, won the Magnesia Litera award for Best Debut in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cPlaying Wolf\u201d is \u201ca village novel you want to read in the safety of the city.\u201d This folk-horror thriller by writer and literary scholar Zuzana \u0158\u00edhov\u00e1, former head of Czech Studies at Oxford, was published in France and the U.S. by \u00c9ditions du Seuil and Catapult, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the graphic novel \u201cThe Zone\u201d by Slovak author and playwright Daniel Majling, a mysteriously hostile space takes on the title role itself. Absurd characters, dark humor, striking visuals and cult status among Central European comics fans (the novel received the Czech Muriel Prize) all contribute to its adaptation potential.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cQueen of Hearts,\u201d a dystopian satire by Moldovan author Iulian Ciocan, explores an ever-expanding, all-consuming crater in the middle of post-communist Chi\u0219in\u0103u.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cAspic Bistro\u201d by Ieva Dumbryt\u0117, set in a surreal, almost Orwellian-controlled kitchen environment, won several awards in her native Lithuania, including the prize for the Most Creative Book of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe historical drama \u201cCupid at the Kremlin Wall\u201d takes place during a tragic train journey across Georgia, at the height of the Stalinist terror in the 1930s. Historian Aka Morchiladze, its author, is an accomplished writer who has over 30 novels published in 15 countries. He has written several screenplays, and his previous book \u201cJourney to Karabakh\u201d was adapted into a film.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe selection also includes a strong representative of children\u2019s literature, the Polish title \u201cThe River Odyssey of Kora From Willow Meadow\u201d by Adam Robi\u0144ski. The story of a young beaver named Kora offers strong potential for visually and emotionally compelling family film with ecological relevance.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe war in the Donbas serves as the starting point in \u201cAmadoka,\u201d a novel that combines an intimate human story with the vast historical trauma of Eastern Europe in a deeply cinematic way. Writer Sophia Andrukhovych won the International Hermann Hesse Prize 2024 for it.
