Current Affairs Milos Forman's film finally takes off
On Wednesday night Milos Forman's film, "Taking Off" premiered in the Czech Republic, no less than 35 years after it was made. Milos Forman was one of the pioneers of the Czech new wave in cinema in the 1960s. Following the Soviet invasion in 1968, he emigrated to America where he launched a successful career with films One Flew over a Cuckoo's Nest, Hair, the People vs Larry Flint and more recently Man on the Moon. His first American film, Taking Off was banned in the former Czechoslovakia and it was not until this week that it had its first official screening in the country of Forman's birth. The screening was part of a larger cultural event called Project 100. Nikola Brabenec spoke to one of the organizers, Ivo Andrle at the event.
