  • Where: Montmartre Gallery
  • When: April 30, 2012, 19:00 – 21:00

The novelist and documentary maker Jan Novák – whose books include “Milionový džíp” (“Million Dollar Jeep”), “Zatím dobrý” (“So Far So Good”, about the Mašín brothers’story), and “Hic a kosa v Chicagu”(“Scorchers and Freezers in Chicago”) – has created a filmic reconstruction of the eventful holiday that Václav Havel took in 1985, which turned into a massive police operation. Three hundred police officers followed the playwright, carrying out interrogations and searches of his friends’ homes after he had visited them. Havel was arrested twice… and the summer reached a climax. That’s what things were like in those days.

Cooperation on the film: Adam Novák.
