Gustav Machatý Restored

During the last ten years, the Czech National Film Archive (Národní filmový archiv) has restored three major works by filmmaker Gustav Machatý. These films feature fiercely independent women exploring their desire and sensuality in ways that would have been unthinkable to show on the big screen at the time. The subversive nature of these films is still felt today, and this is a wonderful opportunity to (re)discover these cinematic gems in all their glory, characterized by dynamic editing and ingenious shots from one of cinema’s most innovative artists.
