Jaroslav Kučera’s Camera Cycle The G18 Gallery in cooperation with Kino Napajedla has prepared a retrospective of the film work of the prominent cinematographer Jaroslav Kučera. It will present three key films that bear the unmistakable handwriting of Kučera’s camerawork. 12. 2., 19:00 Diamonds of the Night – The story of the escape of two Jewish youths from a death transport is a naturalistic exploration of feelings of threat, rejection and uprootedness. 14. 2., 19:00 Daisies – Where they go, they provoke. Vera Chytilova’s famous film about two Marias and the vicious circle of pseudo-values and pseudo-relations. 16. 2., 19:00 Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet – An excellent parody of director Oldřich Lipský’s rhodocapsu stories of intrepid heroes.

Exhibition Jaroslav Kučera Laboratory The exhibition Jaroslav Kučera Laboratory will take you into the world of Czechoslovak cinematography in the 1960s and beyond, and will show the work of the cameraman as creative and artistic in the form of an experimental laboratory. At the centre of the exhibition is the work of Jaroslav Kučera, who is inherently one of the most important creators of Czechoslovak cinema. He is known as a progressive cinematographer who has defined the visual form of a number of Czech films (including “Diamonds of the Night,” “Daisies,” “Fruit of Paradise Trees,” “All the Good Fellows,” and “Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet“).
