A film about one of the most important figures in Slovak acting, Ivan Palúch. In 1969, Palúch starred in three feature films screened at the Cannes Film Festival in just a single edition of the highly prestigious annual event. Two of them were in the main feature film competition: Michael Kohlhaas – The Rebel by Volker Schlöndorff, It Rains in My Village by Aleksandar Petrovic, and the third in the non-competitive section: Marketa Lazarová by František Vláčil.
We are screening this film inclusively. The film includes special subtitles and audio commentary through headphones – the screening can also be attended by people with hearing and visual impairments.
The screening will be followed by discussion with its creators Martin Palúch, Peter Neveďal and Peter Harum.
