Documentaries on Smetana premiering in Prague

Two new documentary films on the great Czech composer Bedřich Smetana by director Pavel P. Ries are being premiered at Prague’s Světozor cinema on Sunday evening. The first, which features acted sequences, looks at the life of the writer of My Country, while the second is focused on improvements made to his tomb at Prague’s Vyšehrad; it was renovated in the 1980s and there are currently plans to repair it again.
