In the studio to talk over some of that, and to give us an idea of what’s to come, I spoke to film critic and reporter Ilona Francková, who has had a careful eye on the goings-on of the Czech film world for much of the last decade. She was one of the main writers for the popular cinema monthly Premiere and reports on film and culture for a wide range of publications in the country. I began by asking her what Czech films might soon be making a splash outside of the Czech Republic. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/franckova_ilona.jpg?timestamp=1591306213 https://english.radio.cz/film-roundup-critic-ilona-franckova-8576513 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
