28th Made in Prague Festival

Welcome to the 28th edition of the Made in Prague festival, a vibrant celebration of Czech culture, organised by the Czech Centre in London. This year’s festival offers a rich programme that brings together music, literature, performing and visual art, and contemporary film, with three key themes shaping the festival’s events.

We are proud to mark the Year of Czech Music, a tribute to the country’s extraordinary musical heritage. The festival will open on 31 October celebrating the depth of Czech classical music with a performance by the London Symphony Orchestra playing contemporary classical music by Ondřej Adámek at the Barbican.

The concert will commence a five-week long programme showcasing an array of various cultural events, culminating in the festival’s closing night on 30 November at the Southbank Centre, featuring world-renowned Czech violinist Pavel Šporcl accompanied by the English Chamber Orchestra. His performance promises to be a spectacular conclusion to this musical journey, embodying the dynamic and timeless spirit of Czech music.

The festival also commemorates one hundred years since the death of Franz Kafka, one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century. Born in Prague, Kafka’s work, filled with existential themes and a deep sense of alienation, continues to inspire readers around the world. This year, we honour his legacy through a series of theatre performance at the Coronet Theatre, a literary evening and an outdoor art exhibition. I’m certain that Kafka’s presence will profoundly enrich the festival, offering audiences an opportunity to engage deeply with his work.

In addition, this year marks the 35th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, the peaceful uprising that led to the end of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia. To reflect on this significant moment in Czech history, the festival will showcase the film Havel Speaking, Can You Hear Me?, a powerful portrait of Václav Havel, the playwright-turned-president whose leadership was pivotal during the revolution.

This film offers a moving exploration of the last years of Havel’s life and his commitment to freedom and democracy, reminding us of the ongoing relevance of the Velvet Revolution’s ideals.

A core component of the Made in Prague Festival remains its dedication to showcasing contemporary Czech cinema. This year’s film programme is particularly exciting, with screenings of films such as Brothers, the Czech nomination for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film; She Came at Night, the Czech Lion Award winner for both Best Director and Best Actress in a leading role; and Waltzing Matilda, followed by a Q&A with the film’s leading actor Karel Roden, offering UK audiences a window into the diverse and innovative world of modern Czech filmmaking.

As always, the Made in Prague Festival is made possible by the invaluable support of its partners and volunteers, whose contributions help bring Czech culture to life in London. Needless to say, a huge debt of gratitude is owed to the Czech Centre’s team for their tireless commitment and passion to make the festival once again an exciting encounter with Czech culture and art.

As the festival remains a vital bridge, connecting Czech culture and creativity with the British audience, and providing a platform for cultural dialogue and exchange, I hope you will enjoy this year’s festival and the many cultural treasures it has to offer.

I’m looking forward to seeing you,

Přemysl Pela Director of the Czech Centre

Lemonade Joe (aka Horse Opera) Oldřich Lipský, Czechoslovakia 1964, 100‘, English subtitles Cast: Karel Fiala, Miloš Kopecký, Olga Schoberová, Květa Fialová

Year of Czech Music

Joe, a clean-shaven, lemonade-swigging, sharp-shooting cowboy, enters the Trigger Whisky Saloon in Stetson City and orders a Kolaloka lemonade . Before he even takes a sip, he defeats a gang of robbers, dispensing justice and converting the sinful townspeople to sobriety. Joe leaves the town just as the master criminal Hogo Fogo arrives.

Dressed in white and black, representing good and evil, they fight for the right to promote whisky or lemonade, and for the hand of the beautiful Winifred. A hilarious musical parody of old-style westerns and singing cowboys that blends quick-fire jokes, silent slapstick, and inspired music and songs from the swinging ‘60s.

Audition Miloš Forman, Czechoslovakia 1963, 79‘, English subtitles Cast: Jan Vostrčil, Vladimír Pucholt, Věra Křesadlová, Jiří Suchý and Jiří Šlitr

Audition, Miloš Forman’s debut film, initiated the Czech New Wave and launched his career. Originally two short films with closely related topics and styles Audition and If There Were No Music were released as one feature film. In If There Were No Music, two young men skip brass band rehearsals for motorcycle races, much to their band leaders’ dismay. While this segment shows a genuine appreciation for traditional Czech music; pop-style numbers are featured in Audition, enthusiastically performed by hopeful applicants auditioning for Prague‘s Semafor Theatre. Successfuly blending documentary-style coverage with fictional narratives, this is an authentic portrayal of youthful rebellion against societal and generational restraint and conformity testifying to Forman’s passion for music.

Witchhammer Otakar Vávra, Czechoslovakia 1969, 102´, English subtitles Cast: Ello Romančík, Vladimír Šmeral, Soňa Valentová, Josef Kemr

An investigation into a simple superstition quickly becomes a full-blown witch trial in this powerful allegory of life under totalitarian rule. Vávra’s film draws on original court transcripts and forced confessions, revealing the malevolence of the Inquisitors who exorcise their own greed and lust through gruesome torture and execution.

With its stark and beautiful cinematography reminiscent of Bergman and Dreyer, Witchhammer transcends the horror genre to become a chilling political fable that exposes power as the ultimate weapon of evil, enhanced Jiří Srnka’s atmospheric score. His haunting music, performed by the Czech Philharmonic alongside the Prague Madrigalists, makes Witchhammer an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Film Brothers + Q&A with Mark Cornwall Sat 2 November, 7 pm Regent Street Cinema Tomáš Mašín, Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia 2023, 135‘, English subtitles Cast: Oskar Hes, Jan Nedbal, Stefan Konarske, Tatiana Dyková, Václav Neužil

Spurred by their mother‘s defiance and its consequences, the brothers embark on a violent resistance campaign. As their actions escalate, a relentless policemen is hot on their trail, forcing them into a harrowing escape. Crossing Czechoslovakia and East Germany, pursued by Red Army soldiers and 20,000 East German police in the biggest manhunt in Cold War history, their story unfolds as a fast-paced epic thriller. With strong emotional impact and a focus on family bonds, this film leaves audiences on the edge of their seats, inviting them to reflect on a poignant story that still divides Czech society today.

A multilayered portrait of Czech dissident playwright turned head of state, who became a political icon while retaining his insight, humour, and dedication to public service. In 2009, Havel invited Petr Jančárek to film ‘the rest of his life,‘ granting unlimited access and creative freedom. For nearly three years, Jančárek captured Havel’s life, juxtaposing it with scenes from his play Leaving which Havel was filming. The resulting time-lapse documentary follows Havel from meetings with world leaders to hoovering at his cottage and drumming at festivals. With Havel as the sole speaker, the documentary reflects on his political legacy and universal human issues with absolute openess through previously unseen footage.
