Štěpán Hulík: The Cinema of Forgetting

A reading from the book The Cinema of Forgetting, accompanied by an attempt at answering the questions: What did Normalization bring to Czechoslovak film? Who were its architects? And did they want to play this role or did they have no other choice? Together with the invited guests, we will try to reconstruct the thinking of the people who lived and worked under Normalization – and who perhaps used their abilities in its services. We will also try to answer the question as to what from the Normalization era remains with us today, and how we are creating our own neo-Normalization.
