SUMMARY:Our Lovely Pig Slaughter + Q&A with Adam Martinec
DESCRIPTION:The 28th Made in Prague Festival presents the UK premiere of Adam Martinec’s ‘A Rowdily Tragicomic Ode to Family Feuds and Disappearing Traditions‘\, inspired by Miloš Forman’s films and Bohumil Hrabal’s poetics. The film received the Jury’s Special Mention at the 2024 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. \nThe women cry over onions in the kitchen\, united in exasperation with their men. The men\, led by recent widower Karel\, drink plum brandy outside\, preparing for a pig killing. This annual gathering is when the family reconnects to enjoy great food. However\, family tensions are high this year\, and things are not going as planned. Karel’s daughter Romana misses her mother\, her sister’s marriage is on the rocks\, and Grandpa doesn’t want to do more pig killings. At the same time\, the butcher hides the fact that the ammunition is damp and a nosy neighbour plans to report the illegal slaughter. Amidst the chaos\, six-year-old Dusik goes missing. Inspired by Miloš Forman’s film and Bohumil Hrabal’s poetics\, the director unveils the Czech temperament\, creating a poignant comedy full of slapstick moments\, searing humour and great empathy amidst gender and generational divides. With strong visuals\, an atmospheric soundtrack\, and a fantastic array of non-actors\, this remarkable debut blends tragic and comic undertones. \nAdam Martinec\, Czech Republic 2024\, 84´\, English subtitles\nCast: Karel Martinec\, Miloslav Čížek\, Pavlina Balner\, Aleš Bílík\, Karin Bilíková \nKarlovy Vary International Film Festival 2024\nA Special Award Karlovy Vary International Film Festival 2024\nOur Lovely Pig Slaughter + Q&A with Adam Martinec / Czech Centre London (czechcentres.cz)

SUMMARY:DAISIES
DESCRIPTION:Věra Chytilová’s classic of surrealist cinema is the most adventurous and anarchic Czech movie of the 1960s. Two young women\, both named Marie\, revolt against a degenerate\, decayed and oppressive society\, attacking symbols of wealth and bourgeois culture. A riotous\, punk-poem of a film that is both hilarious and mind-warpingly innovative\, it has influenced generations of filmmakers. \n  \nScreening times: \nSunday 16 June 2024\, 7.30 pm\nThursday 20 June 2024\, 4 pm \nShown by The Garden Cinema as part of their Women Aren’t Funny season. In partnership with the Czech Centre. \nThe screening on Sunday 16 June\, will be introduced by filmmaker and lecturer Pavel Prokopic. \n  \nDefiant feminist statement? Nihilistic\, avant-garde comedy? Daisies remains a fascinating cinematic rollercoaster. Remarkable and refreshingly uncompromising\, it continues to provoke\, stimulate and entertain. \n  \nPavel Prokopic is a Czech filmmaker\, and lecturer at the University of Salford. His current work focuses on advancing cinema as a unique form of art and storytelling by combining creative experimentation\, philosophical concepts\, and cutting-edge technologies. His work has been widely published\, exhibited and presented\, including FACT in Liverpool and V&A museum in London. He holds an AHRC-funded PhD\, and a Master’s degree in Film Aesthetics from Magdalen College\, University of Oxford. \n

SUMMARY:Art Talent Show
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to 2020’s entrance exams at the Prague Academy of Fine Arts\, where hundreds of wannabe artists are battling for a coveted spot in one of three studios. Assessed\, interrogated and challenged by three different sets of professors\, they candidly and often with unintended comic effect\, discuss gender and sexuality\, identity issues and artistic beliefs revealing intergenerational tension and cultural identity clashes. Granted unprecedented access\, filmmakers use observational camerawork to juxtapose these encounters with shots of an older pragmatic receptionist to provide a dryly humorous commentary while raising questions over the role and value of art. Hilarious and and absorbing.\n\n\n\n\n\nAdéla Komrzy\, Tomáš Bojar\, Czech Republic 2022\, 102’\, English subtitles \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Bojar and Komrzý have been blessed with an eccentric cast of faculty members who are fascinating and often hilarious. Spending time with them is a pleasure.”– Forbes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A witty\, Wiseman-esque documentary about art school staff and their aspiring students.“Variety\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 	\n\n 	BOOK NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart of the 27th Made In Prague Festival (3rd November -10th December 2023) organized by the Czech Centre London.

SUMMARY:Kunstkamera + Intro by Gareth Evan
DESCRIPTION:This animated movie is part of the 26th Made in Prague Festival organised by the Czech Centre London. The popular multi-genre festival is back again for its 26th edition. Representing one of the oldest national celebrations of European culture in the UK\, the festival presents an exciting programme covering film\, music\, science\, visual art and literature in various venues across London and beyond. Take your pick and immerse yourself in Czech culture this fall. \nA tantalising view of the Czech surrealist and filmmaker Jan Svankmajer’s private collection of artefacts and objects\, full of beauty and magic. In Kunstkamera\, Czech surrealist Jan Švankmajer opens the door to his Horní Staňkov Castle\, inviting us into his home where the living space is intricately and organically intertwined with an exhibition space filled with installations\, paintings\, puppets and products of nature\, but also an unmade bed\, his bedside table\, an open bottle of beer and a dog bowl. Horní Staňkov is home to the eclectic private collection that Švankmajer has built throughout his life\, inspired by the kunstkameras of Rudolf II and André Breton. Now providing a tantalising view into his world through the sequence of objects and an interpretation of the collection\, Svankmajer’s inner landscape is captured on film for posterity and shared with his fans from all over the world. A treat not to be missed.
