This event celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release of the Czech New Waveâs âmanifestoâ film, Pearls of the Deep (PerliÄky na dnÄ). The event featured the Chicago premiere of Ivan Passerâs short film A Boring Afternoon (FĂĄdnĂ odpoledne). Passer was in attendance to introduce these films and take questions following the screening.
Ivan Passer is a Czech filmmaker who cowrote some of the most celebrated films of the famed Czech New Wave (including MiloĆĄ Formanâs Loves of a Blonde and The Firemen's Ball). His major contribution to the movement came in 1965 with his astonishing directorial debut, Intimate Lighting. After the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, Passer fled to the United States, where he resumed his film career. Among his U.S. films are Born to Win, Law and Disorder, and the critically acclaimed Cutterâs Way. Stalin, which he directed for HBO, won three Golden Globes and four Emmys.
This event was sponsored by the Film Studies Center, the Center for Eastern European and Russian/Eurasian Studies, the Central Europe Workshop, and the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures.
