The Sun in a Net - Slnko v sieti (dir. Štefan Uher, 1962, 90 minutes, DCP)
Co-presented with The Melbourne Cinémathèque
Štefan Uher's remarkable second feature was the first Czechoslovak film to break from the mandates of Socialist Realism by striving for authenticity in depicting the everyday lives of disaffected youths. Stanislav Szomolányi’s location cinematography and Ilja Zeljenka’s musique concrète score remain striking.
