Two Weeks of Czech Film in Strasbourg
September 29, 2009 – A two-week presentation of Czech cinema will take place in Strasbourg from September 30 to October 13. The festival titled Quinzaine du Cinema Tcheque, i.e., Two Weeks of Czech Film, follows up on a similar event held years ago in Strasbourg by the same organizer – Odyssée Cinema – in collaboration with Jaromil Jireš.
This year’s festival will offer seven cinematic works from post-Velvet Revolution Czech Republic – six feature films and a feature-length documentary: Kolja /1996/, Return of the Idiot /1999/, Jan Werich’s Fimfárum /2002/, Wrong Side Up /2005/, Citizen Havel /2008/, A Country Teacher /2008/, and Who’s Afraid of the Wolf /2008/. Three classics by acclaimed director Milos Forman will round out the Czech bill: the legendary Oscar-winning drama One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest /1975/, the period epic Amadeus /1984/, and the romantic drama Valmont /1989/.
