TVTV Looks at the Oscars (1976)
Made in 1976, TVTV's close-up look at Hollywood's annual awards ritual mixes irreverent documentary with deadpan comedy. TVTV's cameras go behind the scenes to follow major Hollywood figures (including Steven Spielberg, Michael Douglas, Lee Grant, Jack Nicholson, and many others), capturing them in candid moments—inside their limousines, dressing for the ceremony, backstage at the awards.

Why Havel? (1991)
The first part of the block will be dedicated to the monograph Vojtěch Jasný: The Film Poet in Exile (2020) authored by the film historian Jiří Voráč. The monograph is centered on the legendary director’s life and career after his emigration to Western Europe and to the US after 1968, which have so far received little attention. In exile, Jasný established himself as a film director (he authored over thirty cinema and TV films and documentaries), stage director, photographer, and film studies lecturer. The first part will be followed by the screening of Jasný’s documentary Why Havel? co-produced by himself and Miloš Forman in Canada and Czechoslovakia in 1991. As remarkable as this reflection of the paradoxical transformation of a dissident into a president in the carnival-like atmosphere of the euphoric post-revolution period with the first question marks already appearing may be, it did not meet the expectations of the head of state.

Filmmakers vs. Tycoons (2005)
How the cinema industry does not respect the author's work as it was conceived, how manipulates the motion pictures in order to make them easier to watch by an undemanding audience or even how mutilates them to adapt the original formats and runtimes to the restrictive frame of the television screen and the abusive requirements of advertising. (Followed by “Filmmakers in Action.”)

Carrière, 250 Meters (2011)
A portrait documentary tracing the inspiration, philosophy and imagination of the celebrated theatre and screen writer - and Bunuel's long term collaborator - Jean Claude Carrière. Carrière predicts that between the house he was born in and the cemetery in which he will end there is a life journey of just 250 meters. "Carrière: 250 Meters" follows him as he reflects on the wealth of global traditions of storytelling, travelling through past and present, across countries and cultures from Paris to New York, Mexico and India and joined by his family, friends and collaborators. A testament to the life and work of an extraordinary man and a key architect in contemporary cinema.

Milos Forman: What Happened Was...
In this 2007 interview two-time Academy Award winner for Best Director, Milos Forman talks at length about his days as a film student in then communist Czechoslovakia, how film festivals and the international success of "Loves of a Blonde" (1965) enabled him to travel abroad, why his last Czech film was "The Fireman's Ball" (1967), coming to America to make "Taking Off" (1971) and why that was a total flop, the extraordinary chain of events that brought him to "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" (1975), making "Hair" (1979), "Ragtime" (1981) and getting James Cagney out of retirement, casting F Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce in "Amadeus" (1985) and Woody Harrelson and Courtney Love in "The People vs. Larry Flynt" (1996), arguing with authors and directing actors, to his last film "Goya's Ghost" (2006) and why Napoleon's invasion of 19th Century Spain should have been a cautionary tale for more recent military adventures. A masterclass from a master filmmaker.
