«11. Mezinárodní Festival dokumentárních filmú»
The Bus that drove us to the Czech Republic arrived a little late, but we did not mind - the group had thus more time for a coffee, bought in the Macdonald's in front of our University. And down on the left a picture of our hotel! A really old & cheap one, with light communist traces everywhere.
Then we headed to the film theatres in the centre of Jihlava and we got to see some of the city as well!
The cinemas were all great!!!
We had decided to watch a film called "Sea and Smackers" from Vacláv Reischl, a grotesque portrait of Portugal. The director had shot material in Portugal during the 80's, he recently then reassembled the material and the outcome is a rather curious mixture of slapstick, jokes about cultural differences and documentary footage.
So we arrived and immediately took our shoes off and made ourselves comfortable!
The movie was a dubbed version in Czech, adding to that the guests received a little Walkman with the English translations. The English version consisted in an English interpreter dubbing the film we were watching in Czech simultaneously.
So you can imagine hearing the translation of a translation... besides the quality of it was really bad and annoying! One could barely perceive the essence of the original version which was in German and Portuguese. Other than that it could have been a really enjoyable experience.
