THE Czech Film Festival is back after being gone for two years with its third edition of a fun-filled movie ensemble. Organised by the Embassy of the Czech Republic, the festival is set to run from September 23 to 25.
The Czech Film Festival this year partners up with Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), Knowmad Productions and Cinema Online, to share Czechia-made comedies from the past 50 years, which they describe as timeless and of high quality. The films have been specially curated to lighten the moods and spirits of cinemagoers after over two years of the pandemic.
Cinemagoers will have the opportunity to experience the best Czechia comedies beloved by multiple generations of Czech citizens.
The gleeful collection of Czechia comedy films includes I Enjoy the World with You, a 1983 film about three middle-aged men who go for a vacation with their children in the hopes of learning how to cope with their needs without the guidance of their wives.
Saturnin is a film from 1994, which explores the friendship between Jiri Oulicky, a gentleman who lacks determination and self-confidence, and his butler (the titular) Saturnin, who has both.
In addition, Women in Temptation (2010) circles around the efforts of a marriage counsellor who's looking for a new partner after she catches her husband with a younger woman.
River Rascals, a 2017 family comedy, is about a trio of siblings and cousins who embark on a comical canoe adventure down a river with their children in tow.
Lastly, the recently released Princess Cursed in Time is a combination of comedy and adventure. It is a tale that follows a princess with the power to re-live the same day over and over, where she is the only hope to save her kingdom from oncoming darkness.
