| Description |
Milo Forman is typically associated with the celebrated and awardwinning films he has made in the United States over the past 30 years. Lesserknown is that he kickstarted the Czech New Wave with his affecting and humorous satires of daily life. Northwest Film Forum is proud to present his early films to Seattle audiences. In addition to garnering international attention, his subversive films also drew the attention of the Soviet authorities. Forman's work is permeated with an antiauthoritarian spirit as well as by lucid representations of humanity. These films illustrate a thread that appears throughout Formans work-that of rigid political and social systems begging for rebellion.
This touring retrospective was organized originally by Jytte Jensen, Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art, NY, with the kind collaboration of the Czech Center New York; the National Film Archive, Prague; and Irena Kovarova, Independent Film Programmer and Tour Manager. All films are in Czech with English subtitles, except Taking Off, which is in English. |
