Lions of Czech Film: Talks with T. G. Masaryk

October 09, 2019, 8:00 PM

The Avalon Theatre will screen the film Talks with T. G. Masaryk (Hovory s TGM) on October 9, 2019, at 8 pm, as part of the Lions of Czech Film Series. The film follows two leading men of the 20th century - Czechoslovak President Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and visionary writer Karel Čapek. It reconstrucs a single conversation between the "father of the nation" and the author. In an interview with Czech Radio, the director said, “I wanted to approach these two major figures of Czech history not as they appear in history books – where they are placed on pedestals – but more as real people. Their meeting takes place in a gorgeous park in Topolčianky, where Masaryk had a summer residence and where Čapek visited him. As well as holding a clever, philosophical dialogue, they also silently looked at the countryside and discussed everyday issues." Savor an evening at the Avalon watching this psychological drama. (Dir. Jakub Červenka, 2018, 80 min., Czech with English subtitles)
