Best London film festivals this winter
1. Made in Prague Festival
The national cinema of Jiří Menzel, Miloš Forman and Věra Chytilová always has exciting new voices to celebrate and worthy new films to cheer about – which is where Made in Prague, a month-long film fest organised by the Czech Centre, comes in. It spans cinemas across London, from BFI IMAX to the Prince Charles, and offers a curated selection of 14 Czech films, from classics to animations to brand-new dramas. This year’s four galas include ‘Il Boemo’, a biopic of Mozart-acclaimed composer Josef Mysliveček; ‘Restore Point’, Robert Hloz’s Czech answer to ‘Blade Runner’; and kindertransport drama ‘One Life’ starring Anthony Hopkins.
