This KVIFF Talk will present the monograph In Between Images: Cinematographer Jaroslav Kučera’s Media Practices – a critical analysis of the legacy of this leading Czech cinematographer, long-time teacher at FAMU, and collaborator with Věra Chytilová, Vojtěch Jasný and Karel Kachyňa. The presentation includes excerpts from films that Kučera worked on and unknown material from his archives – photographs, family snapshots, and test footage. There follows a screening of the experimental film 1984: The Year of Orwell, which Kučera shot with Jiří Sozanský inside Prague’s burnt-out Trade Fair Palace. Commenting on the archival materials will be the book’s author Kateřina Svatoňová. Aleš Najbrt will discuss the book’s graphic design.
Presentation will be held in Czech with English translation.
Cinema A, Hotel Thermal, from 3:30 p.m.
