eng	Global Lacrosse Village	Film screening at the conference Aboriginal North America and Europe: Strengthening Connections. The Aleš Hřebeský Memorial is the most prestigious box-lacrosse event in Europe. The tournament has been held in Radotín, Czech Republic since 1994, to honor local lacrosse player who tragically died in 1993. In 2001, the tournament hosted international participants for the first time. Since then, the number of the competitors has been growing. A once ″local″ event, became a ″global″ event also thanks to the media interest and on-line broadcasting. Radotín has become a crossroad – not just of specific histories related to the heritage of the former so called Western and Eastern Blocks, but also of individual life stories. The film is also about glocalization. It reflects the specific history of lacrosse in the former Czechoslovakia. Compared to other European countries, lacrosse had been shaped in Czechoslovakia by local notions about the Native Americans and their ″game″. It led to the formation of a specific form of lacrosse, called Czech lacrosse. From this form of the game, the interest in the international form of lacrosse competition has grown and the Czech Republic is, nowadays, the box-lacrosse leader in Europe. The film deals with various forms, meanings and transformations of the original Native Americans activity. The film is a result of mutual collaboration among many participants during all stages of the filming process. By free access to public on Internet the film further shapes this tournament. The film follows the previous ″lacrosse″ film by the same authors Lacrosse – It´s a Way of Life (2014).	ethnographic film; lacrosse; globalization; glocalization;sport; Native Americans
