  • RESCHEDULED DATES FOR THE 27. DEF

    Regrettably, due to the current situation, Days of European Film (DEF) cannot take place during the original dates and have been rescheduled to the second half of June. We hope that we will be able to meet in cinemas from 16 to 23 June 2020 without any worries. “We, of course, support all the necessary measures and we believe that they will yield the desired results and the situation will soon return to normal. In spite of that, however, it is probable that travel will continue to be restricted for some time to come and so we respond to this contingency with a different approach to the related events. Consequently, ambassadors from among Czech influencers will help us promote the respective DEF sections. Discussions with foreign film-making guests after screenings will be replaced with debates on professional topics. The audiences can thus look forward to meeting environmentalists, travellers, economists, musicians, comics, journalists or political analysts, and we look forward to the return of audiences to Czech cinemas,” comments Barbora Golatová, the Festival Director. As usual, the main part of the DEF programme will take place in Prague, Brno and, for the first time, in Ostrava, too. DEF will then move

  • CINEMA AND GALLERY EUROPEAN HOUSE

    We invite you to the European House (Jungmannova 24, Praha 1) on Wednesday 11. 4. at 7 pm.  The screening of the film The Kidnapping of Michel Houellebecq is for free. Michel Houellebecq is a well-known literary provocateur, cynic and pessimist. For some, his books are mere dross, for others, they are biting satires beating at the discord and nihilism of modern society. In September of 2011, news came out that the author had been kidnapped. By whom and to what end it was not clear. Had the crime been planned, or had the author, himself, chosen to vanish? Even after reappearing, Houellebecq has never given a satisfactory explanation. The Kidnapping of Michel Houellebecq is an original reconstruction of events, a game with audiences and intentional provocation all rolled into one – not unlike his books – starring Michel Houellebecq.   An exhibition of festival posters entitled “25 YEARS WITH EUROPEAN FILM” is organized by the European House in Prague as well. If you have a walk along the Jungmannova street from March 7th to April 12th, you can enjoy the bold, funny poster designs inviting to the cinema.
