Panorama: Čehoslovački novi val
Čehoslovački novi val, u iznimno oštroj konkurenciji novovalnih tendencija 1960-ih, naširoko je prepoznat kao jedan od najvažnijih stilskih pokreta u svjetskom filmu nakon talijanskog neorealizma i francuskog novog vala, a njegova važnost i vrijednost potvrđena je kritičarskim i komercijalnim uspjehom, kao i brojnim vrijednim međunarodnim nagradama. Iako je trajao otprilike od 1963-68, riječ je o vrlo raznorodnom stilskom pokretu koji je iznjedrio izniman broj vrijednih djela svjetske filmske baštine koje karakterizira šarolika poetika od realističkih do nadrealističkih tendencija, crnohumorni, ironični i satirični pristup ozbiljnim temama, primjena modernističkih postupaka, politička alegoričnost i drugo. U ovogodišnjem, prvom dijelu retrospektive čehoslovačkog novog vala donosimo izbor od deset čuvenih ostvarenja, dok nas iduće godine očekuje izbor od deset jednakovrijednih ostvarenja manje poznatih širem gledateljstvu.
Ulaz na otvorenje programa (Hirovito ljeto, 3. 5. u 19 sati) je samo uz pozivnice. Cijena ulaznice za ostale projekcije filmova je 15 kn, a za članove 10 kn.
