Made In Prague: The New Czech Cinema UK Tour, Nationwide

Slimmed down from the London event in November, four recent Czech films do the rounds of major cities, and cover a lot of ground between them. Petr Zelenka's The Karamazovs collides film, theatre and literature, as a Czech troupe attempts to stage Dostoevsky's novel in a Polish steel factory. Protektor, last year's top domestic award-winner, examines the effects of the Nazi occupation on a Jewish actress and her radio host husband with noirish style. Twosome, a road movie set in Sweden, is a more up-to-date view of Czech relationships, while Helena Treštíková's documentary Katka follows the life of a young junkie over the course of 14 years.
