Current Affairs Underdog arthouse film sweeps Czech Lion nominations
This year’s nominations for the Czech Lions – the awards given annually by the Czech Film and Television Academy – offered a big surprise, when a little-noticed film called Pouta (Walking Too Fast) walked away with 13 nominations in only 12 categories, a record for the Lions. Whether it will lose in the end to bigger-budget and more conventionally made films will be interesting to see, but for now the nominations themselves mean a serious accomplishment for art-house cinema in the Czech Republic.
