Bohemian, playwright, and suddenly president at the end of 1989: Czech European Václav Havel played a decisive role in shaping the history of the continent in the second half of the 20th century. Andrea Sedláčková recounts Havel's almost novel-like life, drawing on a wealth of archival material. It is a story of dramatic highs and lows, and several defining moments in European history.

Five years after stepping down as President of the Republic, Vaclav Havel returns to the theater with a play that raises questions. A play that examines the ills of our society, and humorously depicts the pretentiousness of politicians. This film combines extracts from the play with moments from his life and family archives, many of which have never been seen before. For Vaclav Havel's life is his best work: somewhere between a fairy tale and a drama of the absurd. Nominated 16 times for the Nobel Peace Prize, he used his experience of power to continue upsetting the established order. Has his love of truth withstood the exercise of power? What influence does he still wield today?

An immigrant couple caring for their grandchildren receives an unexpected visitor after hours, threatening to throw their lives into complete disarray.

The first part of the block will be dedicated to the monograph Vojtěch Jasný: The Film Poet in Exile (2020) authored by the film historian Jiří Voráč. The monograph is centered on the legendary director’s life and career after his emigration to Western Europe and to the US after 1968, which have so far received little attention. In exile, Jasný established himself as a film director (he authored over thirty cinema and TV films and documentaries), stage director, photographer, and film studies lecturer. The first part will be followed by the screening of Jasný’s documentary Why Havel? co-produced by himself and Miloš Forman in Canada and Czechoslovakia in 1991. As remarkable as this reflection of the paradoxical transformation of a dissident into a president in the carnival-like atmosphere of the euphoric post-revolution period with the first question marks already appearing may be, it did not meet the expectations of the head of state.
