Jan Werich's Fimfarum -  14.30 - Lidové sady / Sál ČT

Fimfárum is an anthology film composed of five not-so-fairy-tales but rather moralities on human vices. Directed by Vlasta Pospíšilová and Aurel Klimt, these five stories connected by Werich’s voice create a compact film. It has been nearly twenty years since the premiere of this film. It has slowly left its place in modern Czech cinema, acquired a status of Czech classic and has now been restored and digitalised.

Oskar’s Legacy: Filmmaker Influenced by Fischinger - 14.30 Varšava Cinema

The selection was curated by Cindy Keefer of the Center for Visual Music.

Son of the White Mare - 17.00 Grandhotel Zlatý lev

Thirty years after its premiere, this breath-taking feature film by the legendary Hungarian director Marcell Jankovics returns to the big screen in a digitally restored version. Don’t miss this opportunity to see this mythological tale in vibrant colours and experience first-hand as Jankovics assaults the senses of the viewers with a pulsating colourful spectacle and fiercely uses his incredibly sweeping style of vivid animation lavish with numerous metamorphoses.


Pink Floyd: The Wall 19:00 TUL - Aula G

This suggestive musical film combining live-action scenes with phenomenal animated sequences ranks among the all-time film classics.
