PLIVA contributes to developing and strengthening the relations between the |
8 |
|
|
Czech Republic and Croatia not only with economic and business activities, |
9 |
|
|
but also by actively participating in the promotion of Czech culture in Croatia.<br> |
10 |
|
|
<br> |
11 |
|
|
That is why sponsoring the Czech Film Week, held for the sixth time now, |
12 |
|
|
is a natural continuation of the cooperation of several years between PLIVA |
13 |
|
|
and the Czech Embassy in organising this interesting cultural event.<br> |

Every time the Czech Film Week is held, the movie theatre Kinoteka is full |
20 |
|
|
to the last seat, and the audience usually awards each film with a warm applause |
21 |
|
|
at the end. According to film critics, there will be much to applaud this |
22 |
|
|
week too. During the sixth Czech Film Week, from Monday April 22nd to Sunday |
23 |
|
|
April 28th, movies directed by Vera Chytilova will be shown. Vera Chytilova, |
24 |
|
|
one of the most innovative and radical representatives of the "golden era" |
25 |
|
|
of Czech film, made movies that are characterised by her exceptional imagination, |
26 |
|
|
excellent camera and unusual, often ironic and black humour. She likes to |
27 |
|
|
experiment and focuses on women characters and their problems, shown mostly |
28 |
|
|
from a feminist angle. Such an approach has earned her the title of the "first |
29 |
|
|
and only Czech feminist filmmaker". However, what Vera Chytilova truly believes |
30 |
|
|
in is not feminism but individualism, and she equally detests stupidity and |
31 |
|
|
close-mindedness in men and women. Among the films that will be shown at |
32 |
|
|
the Czech Film Week, we would like to single out her "Daisies", which is |
33 |
|
|
considered to be a visionary masterpiece, and some even consider it the best |
34 |
|
|
Czech film of all times.<br> |
35 |

36 |
|
|
During the sixth Czech Film Week, eight Vera Chytilova movies will be shown: |
37 |
|
|
"Inheritance or Fuckoffguysgoodbye", "Automat Svet", "Daisies", "Apple Game", |
38 |
|
|
"Calamity", "Very Late Afternoon of a Faun", "Trap, Trap, Little Trap..." |
39 |
|
|
and "Story from a Housing Estate". |
