Czech Centre prepared a double bill for Riverside Studios, presenting some of the best features Czech cinematography has to offer:

The Firemen’s Ball (Hoří, má panenko)
Sunday 13 July, 6.30 pm
Miloš Forman, Czechoslovakia, 1967, 71min, sub-titles
A ball which goes horribly wrong is the setting for Forman’s compassionate and beautifully controlled satire on organizational ineptitude and Czech provincial life where stealing is rampant and ugliness presented as beauty. UK premiere of the digital restoration.


Buttoners (Knoflíkáři)
Sunday 13 July, 8.05 pm
Petr Zelenka,1998, 104min, subtitles
With: Eva Holubová, Rudolf Hrušinský, Jiří Kodet
A black comedy about spitting on trains, bad weather, the atom bomb, shooting human sperm into space, infidelity and people who have killed other people. A kaleidoscope of eccentric characters creates a picture of a world in which everything is connected.
