Bohdan Holomíček was one of Václav Havel’s closest friends. Armed with a camera and enthusiasm, but without a plan, records or date-keeping, he threw himself into joint celebrations, trips, theatre performances, conspiratorial meetings, weddings, private gatherings and ceremonies involving world politicians… and it is only now that he and Viktor Stoilov, head of publishing house Torst, have teamed up over a pile of photographs to do what is practially detective work and figure out who is who.

The result is Album Václav (The Václav Album), which contains previously unpublished photos, complemented by hundreds of unique captions.

Michal Žantovský will discuss the book with Holomíček and Stoilov, while the former will provide commentary to a subsequent projection.
