admin_label=”Synopsa” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]The film offers a look into the lives of people with autism while challenging generally held opinions in society about this developmental disorder. This is an unusual film about the environment in families with autistic children, which reveals the day-to-day challenge of life with them. It is not, however, built on dialogue and testimony, but on specific, naturally occurring situations in which it contemplates the issues of familial and romantic love for people with autism. The documentary was made over the course of seven years in cooperation with a nonprofit organization called the Andreas Autism Centre, which provides expert and comprehensive support to people with autism, as well as to their families. For this reason, the film So Far, So Near is about the creation of special relationships between those with autism, their families and the people around them. This symbiosis is often about the denial of one\u2019s own personal needs in favour of the needs of the autistic person. I strived to choose protagonists with various types of autism so that I could create a multi-coloured and more three-dimensional picture of this disorder, which defies (often distorted) generalization. Autism is not about being a genius, being gifted or being totally withdrawn. The relationship of parents to an autistic child is above all about sacrifice and difficult everyday care.<\/p>\n Jaro Vojtek<\/em><\/p>\n \n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”CO-PRODUCERS\u2019 COMMENTS” admin_label=”Explik\u00e1cia koproducentky” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]It all began with my colleague Martina S\u2019s quite bold idea to make a\u00a0documentary about autism. When she presented it to us, she said: \u201cAnd it will be shot by Jaro Vojtek\u201d.<\/p>\n To the rest of us, who had until then had no experience with this subject, the plan seemed too bold. But when we thought more deeply about it, we had to admit that it was just the thing needed to enlighten people. It happened then and happens to this day that people\u2019s consciousness and image of those who have the disorder is significantly distorted. There is an opinion that it is now a\u00a0modern diagnosis and the number of those diagnosed is growing thanks only to better diagnostic methods. But this cannot be entirely true, since statistics in the world are alarming and indicate a\u00a0incidence of one child in 100 born as compared to one in 5,000 15-20 years ago. We often meet with another opinion – that these are gifted children who have certain ingenious gifts and capabilities, which we just have to find in them. The film Rainman partially contributed to this distorted point of view. It was one of the first that dealt with this diagnosis on a\u00a0global scale, but it only presented highly functioning autism in the tiniest representative case. Everyday life with autism is, to a\u00a0very high degree, diametrically different from the story in the film. It often exists alongside mental retardation, metabolic disorders, aggression and auto-aggression. Causal treatment of autism, despite years-long research efforts, does not exist and the only thing available is behavioural approaches for improving these people\u2019s quality of life and developing their ability to communicate with their surroundings.<\/p>\n In addition to our colleague Martina, to whom we say a big THANK YOU, there were other people on the path to today\u2019s introduction of this film onto the market. Without these people, we would have had trouble orienting ourselves in an area that was new to us. For a nonprofit organization, taking on the role of producer was biting off more than we could chew. So we took Jaro Vojtek\u2019s advice and decided to work together with the production firm AH Production. Thus, our cooperation with producer Barbara Harumova Hessova began. During seven long years, while our long and time-consuming project gradually took shape and became what it is today, lovely friendships also emerged between all of those who took part in the film\u2019s creation. We felt their strong support, for which we are extremely grateful.<\/p>\n Today I\u00a0am very excited that seven years after we first met with director Jaro Vojtek, a\u00a0documentary film that strives to bring life with autism in Slovak families closer to the viewer has actually arrived. I\u00a0believe that in addition to being educational, it will also be a\u00a0platform for further discussion about this society wide problem that is growing at an alarming rate.<\/p>\n Kate\u0159ina Nakl\u00e1dalov\u00e1<\/em><\/p>\n \n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”PRODUCER\u2019S COMMENTS” admin_label=”Explik\u00e1cia producentky” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]The making of this film in cooperation with the Andreas Autism Centre began in 2007. Given ANDREAS\u2018 orientation as a\u00a0non-profit organization focused on support in diagnosing and dealing with the phenomenon of autism, the beginning of film production was an enormous burden for them. We are happy that we could join the project and oversee its implementation, as well as the production side, so that the film could be completed and brought to viewers in cinemas. For this we thank the Audiovisual Fund, the Ministry of Culture and RTVS for their support. Through archival material shot by the director himself and also from the parents\u2018 archives, a\u00a0cross-section of the main characters\u2018 lives from childhood to adulthood was available. It was complicated to decide what character to give the film, and it actually emerged gradually in the editing room itself while we continued to shoot more and more new situations \u2013 moments from the families\u2018 lives. Originally we shot footage in five families, but such a\u00a0large quantity of footage couldn\u2019t fit into the film. In terms of time and production efficiency, this was a challenging project because people with autism can only concentrate and deal with being surrounded by film crews for very short periods. For this reason it was not easy to plan and shoot the film in a conventional way. It required a\u00a0flexible, tolerant and generous approach from the entire film crew, for which we are extremely grateful. For these reasons, our shooting workday was short. From this point of view, a\u00a0value-oriented, multi-year film project is complicated. We would like to express our enormous gratitude especially to the parents and relatives who allowed us to enter into their often painful private lives. They were willing to open up and share their fate with us. Caring for people with autism is incredibly difficult. Parents and relatives are often misunderstood and disadvantaged in the\u00a0social context of our society. Together with the staff of AC Andreas, we would like to bring the world of autism closer to the general public and, in so doing, debunk myths and prejudices in an effort to find a\u00a0more sensitive approach both to people with this diagnosis and to their families.<\/p>\n Barbara Harumov\u00e1 Hessov\u00e1<\/em><\/p>\n \n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”CREDITS” admin_label=”Credits” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]download PDF<\/a> <\/p>\n With financial support of the Ministry of culture of the Slovak republic<\/p>\n Autism (from the Greek “autos\u201d – self, \u201cism\u201d – orientation) means an active\u00a0withdrawal from external reality into an inner, imaginary world.

For this reason, it’s difficult for\u00a0many parents to develop an emotional connection with their autistic child.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AH production <\/p>\n So Far, So Near<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Silvia, highly functional autism<\/p>\n Jakub, infantile autism<\/p>\n Milan, atypical autism<\/p>\n Andrej, autism<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sincere thanks to performers<\/strong> Thanks for the kind consent of the right holders for music and archival materials<\/strong><\/p>\n In the film were used family archives of Nakl\u00e1dal, \u0160\u00f3th and Vysko\u010dil family<\/strong><\/p>\n Archives of “the whole Slovakia will help” Archival music<\/strong> song: Ako ty song: \u017dijeme len raz <\/p>\n story: Jaro Vojtek<\/p>\n screenplay: Jaro Vojtek, Marek Le\u0161\u010d\u00e1k<\/p>\n dramaturge: Marek Le\u0161\u010d\u00e1k<\/p>\n dramaturge RTVS: M\u00e1ria \u0160nircov\u00e1<\/p>\n music composed by: Michal Nejtek<\/p>\n boom operators: Du\u0161an Koz\u00e1k, Tobi\u00e1\u0161 Poto\u010dn\u00fd, Adam Kuchta, Peter Harum, Sa\u0161o Bori,<\/p>\n Michal Paluga<\/p>\n sound design and mix: Du\u0161an Koz\u00e1k<\/p>\n dolby sound mixing by: Bohumil Martin\u00e1k<\/p>\n grading: Peter Harum<\/p>\n editor: Peter Harum<\/p>\n dop: Noro Hudec ASK, Jaro Vojtek<\/p>\n technical support: Peter Harum<\/p>\n english subtitles: Janet Livingstone<\/p>\n dramaturge of english subtitles: Anna Kareninov\u00e1<\/p>\n production manager AH production: Barbara Harumov\u00e1 Hessov\u00e1<\/p>\n production Andreas: Lucia Gvozdjakov\u00e1<\/p>\n production RTVS: Ivana Zlat\u0148ansk\u00e1<\/p>\n production manager RTVS: Tibor Horv\u00e1th<\/p>\n head dramaturge RTVS: Miroslava Toman\u00edkov\u00e1<\/p>\n coproducer Andreas: Kate\u0159ina Nakl\u00e1dalov\u00e1<\/p>\n producer AH production: Barbara Harumov\u00e1 Hessov\u00e1<\/p>\n director: Jaro Vojtek<\/p>\n Production and distribution of this film was financially supported by<\/p>\n With financial support of the Ministry of culture of the Slovak republic<\/p>\n \u00a9<\/p>\n AH production, s.r.o. www.takdalekotakblizko.sk<\/p>\n \n[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”TECHNICAL DETAILS” admin_label=”Technick\u00e9 inform\u00e1cie” _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]<\/p>\nVIDEOS<\/h1>\n

Katka Nakl\u00e1dalov\u00e1, who runs the Andreas Autism Centre approached me about making a 20-minute film for the centre\u2019s educational purposes. As I went deeper into the subject of autism however, it didn\u2019t seem sufficient for families with autistic children to have such a small space to present their daily lives. And so I began to work on a feature-length film, which took about seven years.
\nAs the parents of these children have realized, I too came to understand with time that it\u2019s not possible to penetrate the world of autism. The only way is to observe it from the outside, get close to it through the children\u2019s relationships with their surroundings and their loved ones. I tried to shoot what is different about life for autistic people, what distinguishes their ordinary existence from ours. People with autism have their needs and it is a question of how the families around them fulfil these needs and to what extent it influences their own lives. One interesting discovery was that these children\u2019s parents had understood that they have to forget about medicines, forget about various treatment methods and try to create the kind of environment that these children need the most, where they feel the best.<\/p>\n
