A Bomb was stolen, Romania

A man unknowningly runs into posession of an atomic bomb. It doesn't take long before villains start going after both. A peculiar, wordless and hilarious spy parody!

Anna Karenina, USSR

Anna Karenina cheats on her husband and gives birth to a child fathered by her lover. Though blessed with a growing family, she can't escape loneliness. Highly gifted actors, breathtaking images, great drama.

Closely watched Trains, ČSSR

Set during WWII, a young man attempts to lose his virginity. Shining directorial work, which received an Oscar in 1968.

Funeral Fest, Burial Lunch, Yugoslavia / Slovenia

For two high school student, the invasion of Italian troops in Ljubljana means the end of their adolescence. One of the best Slovenian films ever. 

Good Soldier Svejk, ČSSR

Karel Stekly's adaption of the famous novel is considered one of the best, and will premiere in its digitally-restored version at LET'S CEE Film Festival 2017.

I dutifully report, ČSSR

The second part of the probably best screen adaptation of the famous picaresque novel. On Svejk's way to the front, the soldier's luck far outweighs his wisdom.

Identification Marks: None, Poland

A listless student signs up for the military with only a few hours left to his induction. New Wave cinema at its best.

Our Director, Romania

In 1950's Romania, a factory's staff serves as the microcosm of an entire country. An extraordinary, subversive satire.

Provincial Actors, Poland

A clever and laconic comedy provides a behind the scenes look at provincial theatre in 1970s Poland. 

The Cloth Peddler, Azerbaijan

Against all odds, a young charming couple fights for love and a happy ending. A colourful, innocent and entertaining musical comedy from Azerbaijan!

The Firemen's Ball , ČSSR / Italy

A firemen's ball ending in a complete disaster: Milos Forman's ravishing comedy was nominated for an Oscar - and banned in his home country.

The Lady with the Dog, USSR

A man and a woman, both married, start an affair during vacation. But there's more to come. A hopeless love story from Tsarist Russia.

The Third Part of the Night, Poland

In the turmoil of World War II, a man experiences his worst nightmare. A grim parable often streaked with sharp naturalistic and surreal hues. 

The Time of Crisis, Yugoslavia / Slovenia

A student keeps searching for the meaning of life. Extraordinarily independent cinema: a minimalist drama with a documentary character.

Valley of Peace, Yugoslavia / Slovenia

The horrors of war see through the eyes of two orphans: a stirring, passionate and award-winning film - and a historical masterpiece.
