Black Peter / Cerny Petr
Synopsis
Miloš Forman, a versatile talent in film and television, made his mark with his first semi-documentary film Konkurs, composed of two parts: a talent hunt for a new singer at the Semafor theater and a story about Kmoch's Kolín brass band. Forman's connection with Kolín continued in his feature debut 'Černý Petr' (Black Peter), set in the uniquely charming town. The film, made in 1963 from an unpublished story by Jaroslav Papoušek, portrays the early days of an apprentice in a self-service shop. Its authenticity is enhanced by casting mainly non-actors, including Jan Vostrčil, a bandleader from Kmoch's band, and Ladislav Jakim in the lead role. Vladimir Pucholt's memorable performance as a mason's apprentice became iconic, with his distinctive 'ahoj' resonating among the youth. The film's unusual truthfulness captivated both domestic and international audiences, bringing acclaim and recognition to its creator.

The Fireman's Ball / Hori, ma panenko
Synopsis
The 1967 Czech bittersweet comedy The Firemen's Ball (Hoří, má panenko) is the third feature film by Miloš Forman, one of the leading representatives of the Czech New Wave. Collaborating with his friends Ivan Passer and Jaroslav Papoušek on the screenplay and with cinematography by the now world-renowned Miroslav Ondříček, the film centers on a very unconventional firemen's ball. Forman delves into the roots of human nature, portraying characters that seem taken directly from real life. While his previous films observed human behavior with a gentle and compassionate smile, The Firemen's Ball eliminates any lyrical tone, offering a thorough exploration of the darker aspects of human nature. The firemen's ball, whose unbelievable proceedings the film follows, serves as a distorted mirror reflecting the social situation of the 1960s.
