The unique film show Cinema on the Border, which has presented the best of Czech, Polish and Slovak cinematography since Wednesday in several theaters in Český Těšín and Polish Těšín, ends today.
Already at ten in the morning, the film Tady Havel, can you hear me? is being shown in the Centra cinema. – a tip from Jolanta Dygoś, the director of the Kino na border show. Petr Jančárek’s documentary brings previously unpublished records from the last years of Václav Havel’s life. In this way, we get a portrait not only of a statesman, a politician and an excellent playwright, but also of an ordinary person who is struggling with health problems, but still does not lose his sense of humor.
At noon, they play the film Imago in the A. Mickiewicz Theater. A post-punk psychological drama about a young woman who longs for a better life in the gray of socialist Poland. The story of the mother-daughter bond, the desire for freedom, sex and meditation unfolds against the background of the rebellious music scene of the Tri-City of the late eighties and in the atmosphere of the promise of impending revolutionary changes.
The literary program, which was extremely interesting this year, will end at 4 p.m. in the Avion cafe with the premiere of the Polish edition of Josef Škvorecký’s book Ordinary Lives – Zwyczajne żywoty. Anna Maślanka will debate with the translator Andrzej S. Jagodziński.
