Havel Speaking, Can You Hear Me? + Q&A
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Havel Speaking, Can You Hear Me? (Tady Havel, slyšíte mě?), dir. Petr Jančárek, Czech Republic 2023, 87 min., Czech with English subtitles

A multilayered portrait of Czech dissident playwright turned head of state, who became a political icon while retaining his insight, humour, and dedication to public service. In 2009, Havel invited Petr Jančárek to film ‘the rest of his life,‘ granting unlimited access and creative freedom. For nearly three years, Jančárek captured Havel’s life, juxtaposing it with scenes from his play Leaving which Havel was filming. The resulting time-lapse documentary follows Havel from meetings with world leaders to hoovering at his cottage and drumming at festivals. 

With Havel as the sole speaker, the documentary reflects on his political legacy and universal human issues with absolute openess through previously unseen footage. The screening marks this year‘s 35th anniversary of the 1989 Velvet Revolution

The screening is followed by a Q&A with director Petr Jančárek, hosted by Gareth Evans.

This screening is part of the 28th Made in Prague Festival, organised by the Czech Centre.
