A Midsummer Night's Dream - Sen noci svatojánské (dir. Jiří Trnka, 1959, 76 min, 35mm)
Co-presented with The Melbourne Cinémathèque
Several years in the making, Jiří Trnka's astonishing final feature is a stunningly beautiful, highly faithful adaptation of Shakespeare’s play. Shot on glorious Eastmancolor stock, Trnka's puppet animation is more liquid, more balletic than ever and a perfect match for Václav Trojan's marvellous score.
A Midsummer Night's Dream will screen on 35mm, courtesy of Národní filmový archiv.
Screening Wednesday, June 5, 7pm, at ACMI Cinemas
