PLIVA contributes to developing and strengthening the relations between the |
| 8 |
Czech Republic and Croatia not only with economic and business activities, |
| 9 |
but also by actively participating in the promotion of Czech culture in Croatia.<br> |
| 10 |
<br> |
| 11 |
That is why sponsoring the Czech Film Week, held for the sixth time now, |
| 12 |
is a natural continuation of the cooperation of several years between PLIVA |
| 13 |
and the Czech Embassy in organising this interesting cultural event.<br> |

Every time the Czech Film Week is held, the movie theatre Kinoteka is full |
| 20 |
to the last seat, and the audience usually awards each film with a warm applause |
| 21 |
at the end. According to film critics, there will be much to applaud this |
| 22 |
week too. During the sixth Czech Film Week, from Monday April 22nd to Sunday |
| 23 |
April 28th, movies directed by Vera Chytilova will be shown. Vera Chytilova, |
| 24 |
one of the most innovative and radical representatives of the "golden era" |
| 25 |
of Czech film, made movies that are characterised by her exceptional imagination, |
| 26 |
excellent camera and unusual, often ironic and black humour. She likes to |
| 27 |
experiment and focuses on women characters and their problems, shown mostly |
| 28 |
from a feminist angle. Such an approach has earned her the title of the "first |
| 29 |
and only Czech feminist filmmaker". However, what Vera Chytilova truly believes |
| 30 |
in is not feminism but individualism, and she equally detests stupidity and |
| 31 |
close-mindedness in men and women. Among the films that will be shown at |
| 32 |
the Czech Film Week, we would like to single out her "Daisies", which is |
| 33 |
considered to be a visionary masterpiece, and some even consider it the best |
| 34 |
Czech film of all times.<br> |
| 35 |
<br> |
| 36 |
During the sixth Czech Film Week, eight Vera Chytilova movies will be shown: |
| 37 |
"Inheritance or Fuckoffguysgoodbye", "Automat Svet", "Daisies", "Apple Game", |
| 38 |
"Calamity", "Very Late Afternoon of a Faun", "Trap, Trap, Little Trap..." |
| 39 |
and "Story from a Housing Estate". |
