The Honorary Consulate of the Czech Republic has collaborated with the Arkansas Film Commission, the Arkansas Economic Development Commission and the Little Rock Film Festival to host the Czech That Film 2015 Festival on June 5-6 at Ron Robinson Theater in Little Rock.
The opening night film, June 5 at 7 p.m., will feature a question-and-answer session with Czech actress Eva Jenickova. Five subtitled Czech films will be screened at the festival.
“I am very excited about being able to bring Czech movies to Little Rock,” said Lenka Horakova, Honorary Consul of the Czech Republic in Arkansas and AEDC’s business development director for Europe.
“It is a fun way to give people a taste of the Czech culture. These movies will make audiences laugh and cry, bring people together and present inspired entertainment for all. There is something for everyone. I am thankful to the Czech Embassy and our local partners for allowing us to provide the movies at no cost.”
This is the first time the festival has come to Little Rock. It began in 2012 in New York City and grew to other U.S. cities as interest in Czech cinema and culture increased. This year, the festival travels to 18 U.S. cities.
