Restored Czech classic Black Peter set for Venice premiere

A restored version of the classic Miloš Forman film Black Peter will receive its premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 4. Representatives of the National Film Archive, which has restored Black Peter, said they had consulted Forman and the film’s assistant director Ivan Passer during the process.

During the restoration process a previously unknown extra scene was discovered. However, it has not been added to the movie and will only appear as a DVD extra.
