We were honored to show Mrs. President at this year’s Doxumentale — a film that portrays Zuzana Čaputová’s presidency with rare emotional depth and political nuance. Before one of the screenings, we had the chance to speak to filmmakers Barbara Janišová Feglová + Marek Šulík about proximity to power, navigating political intimacy, and what it means to document a presidency shaped by both strength and restraint.
Barbara Janišová Feglová is a producer, Marek Šulík a director. With Mrs. President, they’ve created an intimate portrait of Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová — a film about power and principle, proximity and responsibility, and what it means to hold integrity in the public eye.
