Czech ‘Schmitke’ Film Screening and Screenwriter Talk
Join the Honorary Consul General of the Czech Republic in Atlanta, The Czech School of Atlanta Honoring Karel Velan and the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta for the screening of the award winning Czech Film “Schmitke.”
The evening will include a presentation from the movie’s screen writer, Tomรกลก Konฤinskรฝ, an extremely successful script writer of Czech Television programs and children books author.
The film is based on a short story by Konฤinskรฝ titled, โJulius Schmitke slipped through deathโs fingers like an awkward seal.” It is a story set somewhere between comedy and mystery, somewhere in the fog of the Ore Mountains, full of the atmosphere of this mysterious stretch of land, its history and its people. But first of all it’s the story of the inner world of an aging, clumsy man who is unable to participate in the world around him. He shows us a feeling that we all know in todayโs ultra-fast virtual world. It’s a journey into the mind of an unfortunate man, which makes us feel what we don’t allow ourselves to feel that much anymore.
A wine and cheese reception will be served.
The film, set in the Czech Republic, will be screened in German with English subtitles. Length: 94 minutes.
Admission: Complimentary
