Věra Chytilová’s two-screening offers a glimpse into a pioneering voice of the Czechoslovak New Wave. Her films juxtapose sharp social observation with inventive, often playful formal experiments, disrupting narrative expectations. Through striking images and rhythms, they probe gender, power and the absurdities of everyday life, balancing dark humour with moral urgency. The program highlights Chytilová’s singular visual energy and critical gaze, inviting reflection on cinema’s capacity to question society and form.
Screening will be followed by a discussion with director Stéphanie Barbey.
