  • Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
  • When: April 5, 2016, 18:00 – 19:15

The film Leaving is the story of a turning point in a human life. Former chancellor Vilém Rieger is unable to come to terms inwardly with the loss of his position. At the same time – and above all – he is forced to experience the decline of his world, his “court”, and to realise how little he has actually known.

This evening of remembrances is being held in connection with the fifth anniversary of the premiere of the film Leaving, Václav Havel’s directorial debut. The debate will focus on Václav Havel’s work as a director, with the atmosphere surrounding the preparation and shooting of the film also set for discussion. Guests will see excerpts from the creator’s manuscripts, behind-the-scenes photographs, costume designs and other documents.

Confirmed participants: actors Josef Abrhám, producer Jaroslav Bouček, cinematographer Jan Malíř and others.
