Documentary movie “Meeting with Miss Libussa” at Czequestria 2019

Miss Libussa 2019 - info

You probably already know Miss Libussa – the pony mascot of Prague and Czequestria itself. But did you know that her character is a pony version of Duchess Libussa from the legend of the foundation of Prague? “I see a great city whose glory will touch the stars …”

Recently finished documentary film “Meeting with Libussa” (“Setkání s Libuší”) from Film & Sociology and Czech Television production directed by Táňa Marková, maps the mythological figure of Duchess Libussa, her place in Czech culture and the way the different groups of people perceive, interpret and sometimes even worship her.

And because bronies will also appear in the film, you will be able to watch this one-hour documentary at Czequestria on Sunday at 10:00 in a special performance (the official premiere will take place on September 10 at the Pilot Cinema in Prague)! Let’s see if you recognize the moment when bronies are going to appear there  😉

The director will honor us with her visit, so if you have any questions, she will be happy to answer them!

EDIT 2020: The film was aired on Czech Television and is now available to watch in the online CZTV archive (the part about bronies starts at 32:10).

PlushieCon – for the first time at Czequestria

17. 8. 2019
Miss Libussa 2019 - info

Why should only bronies have a convention? PlushieCon is the convention of the plushies – a unique chance to see so many plushies gathered together!

You may have already heard about it or even seen it at other conventions such as GalaCon (where we had our 5th anniversary this year), Hearth’s Warming Con, or at other events. For you to enjoy the convention of the plushies and your MLP-related plushie(s) take part, PlushieCon comes to Czequestria this year for the very first time!

We may not reach the size of GalaCon, obviously – but a smaller PlushieCon is a nice thing, too, and still, you can see the whole range of all the different characters, sizes, both handmade and industrial-made. Little hint: Czequestria Guest of Honor, Elley-Ray, loves plushies 😉

For details and how your plushies can attend, see Program – PlushieCon page.

After four years, a guest from local meadows and groves comes back!

Petra Hobzová is not only a great actress who has appeared in many series and theatre roles but also a top-notch dubber who has played countless roles.

To Czequestria attendees, she’s known as Sunset Shimmer from Equestria Girls, but she has given her voice to many other characters in movies (such as Zootropolis or Deadpool) as well as in series such as Mentalist, Dallas, or Powerpuff Girls. In the latter, she gave her voice to Bubbles, originally played by Tara Strong, the one and only Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony.
