Independent of Reality: Jan Nemec Retrospective
Feb 23
(Jan Nemec, Czechoslovakia, 1966, 107 min)
Co-presented with the Center for Czech Education and Culture
Sunday, Feb 23 at 07:00PM
A manifesto of the Czechoslovak New Wave, this anthology of five short films by five rising directors is based on a book by the celebrated writer Bohumil Hrabal. Absurdist in style, with a heightened attention to the individual, Hrabal's work broke with the socialist realism that dominated the era. Jan Nemec's story The Imposters is the simplest stylistically, chronicling two elderly men who share stories of their illustrious life careers while spending time together in a hospital. Ultimately they reveal themselves to be masters of the art of embellishment.
