Interview with director Martina Spurná

Obrázek
Martina Spurná, director of Earthquake clusters. We talked to her about directing.   What are her tasks? How can someone become a director? Something about her movie: Do we truly know everything about what happens under the ground? Is the whole Czech mass really a dead, old structure? The fifth episode of the popular science documentary film cycle Silent Threats, from the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, reveals the secret processes taking place in the landscape of Western Bohemia. What do we know about so-called “earthquake clusters”? Can these small quakes be a threat to local dams or spa springs that are located in such areas? Western Bohemia is an irreplaceable natural laboratory due to the presence of earthquake clusters. How are earthquake clusters being monitored and inspected? What exactly goes on when they happen?

Czech Republic Refugees

Czech Republic is not attractive to refugees Only 1156 refugees applied for asylum in the Czech Republic. Compared to other European countries such as Germany or Belgium, this is a small amount. According to peoples opinions, this is because there are better, bigger and more known countries. Despite this small amount of applicants, the Czech Republic is not willing to accept more than 12 refugees. They said no to more refugees, even though the EU obeyed the Czech Republic to accept 1600 refugees. 

Street Food Pop Up #1 in Prague

What about hygiene in streetfood? In Bangkok streetfood is very traditional. Despite its popularity, they had plans to ban it because of the hygiene. After negotiating they decided to keep the streetfood, but make some new rules. In Prague streetfood is common as well. We went to a streetfood festival to ask what they think about hygiene and this whole situation. All of the owners take care about their food. They don’t use food over date, use gloves and make sure that everything is covered especially during transport. They say they can get controlled any time, but want to be clean any time as well. They think it would be a shame if Thailand would ban it, since a lot of owners got their inspiration from there. Another Street Food Pop Up #2 will be next Tuesday at 2th of May at the same place (city hall at Karlovo náměstí). More info
