'Broken Voices'Endorfilm Czech writer-director Ondřej Provazník was sitting in a bar one evening in 2004 while attending Prague’s renowned film and television school FAMU when he heard a group of women singing in beautiful, choral voices to a man on their mobile phone. But it wouldn’t be until 2017, when the #MeToo social movement and awareness campaign against sexual abuse began to ramp up, that the Czech filmmaker decided to put pen to paper to write a script for what would be Broken Voices, the feature drama which premiered at KVIFF and is competing in the Crystal Globe Competition this year. Broken Voices is set in the early 1990s in the Czech Republic and sees 13-year-old Karolina (Kateřina Falbrová) earn a place in a world-famous girls’ choir, where she joins her older sister (Maya Kintera) and other young talents.
