SUMMARY:Dok Night _ SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXICINEMA _ CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS   1966 (Ostre sledované vlaky)
DESCRIPTION:CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS   1966\n(Ostre sledované vlaky) \n\nDirected by Jiří Menzel\n93 minutes\nIn Czech with English subtitles \nWinner of the Academy award for Best Foreign film in 1967\, this is one of the most charming and beautiful films in the history of cinema. Made in that small gap of freedom before the Russian tanks came into Prague in 68\, this film captures perfectly the spirit of the times. \nJiří Menzel’s funny\, tragic 1966 film\, set during the 1940’s in Czechoslovakia is a real piece of nostalgia. The scene is during World War II and the Nazis are officially in control\, and actively imposing their bureaucracy on the nation. Vaclav Neckar stars as a youth working at a village railway depot\, whose chief preoccupation is a desire for sexual adventure\, but who secondarily also sees the necessity of joining the Resistance movement. He spends most of his time doing as little work as possible\, avoiding the eye of his boss\, and flirting with the young female conductor of a passing train. The film has a nice mix of rural lethargy\, surreal hints\, poetic humor and exudes a vibrant sensuality. Finally\, there is something else: the shock of a confrontation between one’s dreams and a real-world obligation\, particularly in a world gone mad through no fault of one’s own. \nIt’s a real gem of the Czech New Wave movement\, and one that never gets tiring no matter how many times one sees it… it’s like playing your favorite record. And what’s more is it is able to tap into a kind of magic that no movie today can conjure up with all our so-called progress and high-tech prowess… in fact with every step we take ‘forward’ we are losing something essential. The key words to describe this movie are bittersweet and lyrical. \nOne viewer’s comment: “Closely Watched Trains is my favorite movie ever. It is 90 minutes of cinematic perfection: funny\, sad\, exquisitely shot\, beautiful to look at (watch it twice\, so that the second time around you can focus on Menzel’s genius in composing his shots)\, and insightful–profound\, even. Its structure will make any film student drool with envy. The acting is flawless. It’s just a beautiful work of art.” \n\nPresented by Jeffrey Badcock\nA series of socially engaged movies\, screened once a month on Thursdays. Touching on such hot topics as immigration\, homelessness\, racism\, education\, radical gender propositions\, the pandemic and gentrification\, these films not only explore visionary politics\, but are also chosen to stir our imagination and creativity. The essence of cinema is the collective experience\, and these screenings are aimed at creating intimate communities again in an increasingly hectic and fragmented world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFilm starts at 20:30\nFree screening   Dinners are available from 19:00\n\n\n\n\n\nAncient Hostility (Liverpool\, UK)\nHarmony singing and drones from members of All In Vain and Dawn Ray’d\, singing songs about heartbreak and resistance.\nhttps://ancienthostilityfolk.bandcamp.com/album/sing-as-loud-as-you-can \nLyngfarer (Norway)Lyngfarer is the musical moniker of Norwegian multi-instrumentalist Magnus Nymo\, rooted in quiet\, pensive folk-influenced music shaped by rural landscapes and DIY\, punk\, and sci-fi cultural backgrounds. The project spans acoustic\, dark folk\, and minimal styles\, with releases like Dagen Kommer that showcase contemplative songwriting and diverse instrumentation.\nhttps://lyngfarer.bandcamp.com/ \n —\nEvery Thursday there’s a Vegan Dinner accompanying an exhibition opening/closing\, a live performance\, live music\, movie screening or …\nCome meet other people interested in art and activism\, good food and great prices. Bring your favourite game and your friends. Or meet new people at the bar.
