We are thus planning our final film evening of 2026. For the June screening, we have selected the film Dark Blue World (2001), directed by Jan Svěrák and based on a screenplay by this year’s ninety-year-old jubilarian, Zdeněk Svěrák. The film presents an intimate human drama set against a gripping historical backdrop. It tells a story of courage, heroism, and the ingratitude of history, as well as a story of great love, friendship, and male honor.

The screening is made possible thanks to the kind support and cooperation of the expatriate association vKodani.cz. Thank you!
