Czech and Slovak Film Festival Australia 2015
If you're looking to sure up your film buff credentials, then this is the festival for you.
Overview
The Czech and Slovak Film Festival is heading back to ACMI, ushering in ten straight days of central European cinema that you can't see anywhere else. Now in their third straight year, the CaSFFA team have once again split their program between recent releases and classic older films — including one silent gem that's close to 100 years old. Simply put: if you're looking to sure up your film buff credentials, then this is the festival for you.
Modern highlights include '80s-set sports drama Fair Play, fantasy musical Three Brothers and hard-hitting Czech/French co-production The Way Out. Those looking for a more retro experience, meanwhile, can check out any one of four feature films by influential director and animator Karel Zeman, whose work also provides the inspiration for the festival's Spirit of Adventure art exhibition. Alternatively, you can catch 1919's The Cathedral Builder at Melbourne Town Hall, complete with a live score performed on the historic Grand Organ, the largest instrument of its kind anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere.
