THE FERRARI DINO GIRL, Jan NěmecSunday 22 January 2018 6.00 pm
-> Screening at Thalia Cinema, Görlitzer Str. 6 <-

For the film Jan Němec uses his own documentary film material excerpts from "Oratorium for Prague" (16 mm, 1968), which he created on his own initiative during the invasion of the Soviet Army. These four rolls of exposed film, recounting 16 uncensored minutes of reality in the CSSR of that time, were however worthless in the occupied country, for they were made with the intention of reaching the global public. How this was achieved at that time is narrated in the second, acted part. The situation was bizarre, the most important actors during the adventurous safeguarding of the film material by crossing the closed Austrian border, were the "Ferrari Dino Girls" - these being a beautiful but inaccessible girl by the name of Jana, and the beloved Fiat 850 motorcar belonging to the filmmaker.
