This is a community for posting and sharing trailers and teasers for upcoming film, television and video game premieres. The goal is to provide subscribers a curated feed of trailers for UPCOMING media. General-purpose posts about movies, television and games are better suited for other communities around the Lemmyverse. This place is just for trailers.

All posts must be trailers or teasers; not full movies, not trailers for trailers, and not clips of popular scenes. Meta posts from mod staff are OK, but should be kept to a minimum.
No fan-made trailers or remixes.
Trailers for upcoming content only. Do not spam the community with trailers for media that has already been released.
Link to official channels for trailers whenever possible (ie: the YouTube accounts of each film's studio or distribution company); avoid linking to videos from media outlets that function as aggregators / re-posters if you can.
Post titles should follow formatting guidelines: "Media Name (release year, relevant creator credit)". Creator credits should be directors for films and games, showrunners for television series. Other details such as starring actors, writers, production studios, etc can be added to the post description.

Original title (SK): Vlny (Waves)

In the face of rising media surveillance and censorship, Waves takes place in the days leading up to the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. Out of this atmosphere of paranoia, two brothers provide an anchor to everyday life: Tomáš, conformist and domestic, versus Pavel, fiery and revolutionary.

As Tomáš begins working for Československý rozhlas Praha (CS radio Prague), he and his journalistic colleagues are soon faced with a dire dilemma: how far are they willing to go to protect the truth? And what power do they have against an oppressive regime?

With a percussive soundtrack and rich, earthy coloring, this period thriller blends real historical footage into scenes shot for the film. With the threat of a known ending looming from the beginning, a tight script with gripping characters and sweeping emotions nevertheless elevates tension throughout its entire runtime.

This tale of dissent against a repressive state brings up resonant themes with today’s political climate, a powerful reminder of the strength in community and the heroism of the ordinary.

I pulled the descriptive copy here from the online festival program and just updated it with the radio station details. Thank you for both the context and the film endorsement! I'm fairly certain this doesn't yet have a distribution deal in the US and, from the looks of it, is something that we should probably be watching.

You're right, it very effectively criticizes (Soviet) communism, imperialism and authoritarianism. So much so that some amateur critics online theorize it was made on request by the pro-Ukraine government, but the popular sentiment is still very positive.
