For the film screening that took place on 11 December, we chose one of the best-known Czech sci-fi films Icarus XB 1 directed by Jindřich Polák. The story took place in the year of 2163, while a spaceship including a forty-person crew took off on s space journey to the Alpha Centauri planets. The film presented a unique concept of the future and pictureed relations between people of the next century, sometimes surprisingly very similar to the current ones.
The film is still considered as a unique sci-fi movie, which served as a source of inspiration even for the Western cinematographers. Ikarie XB 1 is primarily known for the way people of the future are presented. Additionally, the audience enjoyed the greatest actors of Czech cinematography such as Zdeněk Štěpánek, Dana Medřická, František Smolík and others.
