  • Famous People from Czech Republic
    2018 R MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Tennessee Academic Standards 2018 EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDE MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Celebrates the Czech Republic in 2018 Celebrating the Czech Republic is the year-long focus of the 2018 Memphis in May International Festival. The Czech Republic is the twelfth European country to be honored in the festival’s history, and its selection by Memphis in May International Festival coincides with their celebration of 100 years as an independent nation, beginning as Czechoslovakia in 1918. The Czech Republic is a nation with 10 million inhabitants, situated in the middle of Europe, with Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Poland as its neighbors. Known for its rich historical and cultural heritage, more than a thousand years of Czech history has produced over 2,000 castles, chateaux, and fortresses. The country resonates with beautiful landscapes, including a chain of mountains on the border, deep forests, refreshing lakes, as well as architectural and urban masterpieces. Its capital city of Prague is known for stunning architecture and welcoming people, and is the fifth most- visited city in Europe as a result. The late twentieth century saw the Czech Republic rise as one of the youngest and strongest members of today’s European Union and NATO. Interestingly, the Czech Republic is known for peaceful transitions; from the Velvet Revolution in which they left Communism behind in 1989, to the Velvet Divorce in which they parted ways with Slovakia in 1993. Boasting the lowest unemployment rate in the European Union, the Czech Republic’s stable economy is supported by robust exports, chiefly in the automotive and technology sectors, with close economic ties to Germany and their former countrymen in Slovakia.

  • Fall Animation Programs at the Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release September 1989 FALL ANIMATION PROGRAMS AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART THF BARON OF MAGIC: KAREL ZEMAN September 17, 18 In memory of the veteran Czech animation artist Karel Zeman, who died earlier this year, the Museum presents a two-day program of his animated films. Zeman was an inexhaustible experimenter, fusing technique and form to create a fantastical new world of animation. He created his "innocent inventions" with infinite patience rather than large budgets. His ingenuous, and always ingenious, fantasies make him a true successor of the French pioneer Georges Melies. The Christmas Dream (1946) was Zeman's first animated puppet film, but it was in An Invention for Destruction (1958) that he first gave fantasy full reign in a combination of live action and animation, incorporating wood block engravings that had been used to illustrate the books of Jules Verne. Zeman's marvelously inayinative Baron Munchhausen (1961) uses special effects, tricks, and period illustrations to create a fantastic world. The program was organized by Adrienne Mancia, curator, and Jytte Jensen, curatorial assistant, Department of Film, with the generous cooperation of the International Department of Czechoslovak Film and ASIFA East. GF;MS OF ANIMATION FROM THE CINEMATHEQUE QUEBECOISE: 25 YEARS! October 9 Tho only cinematheque in the world specializing in animation, the Cinematheque Quebscoise's many activities include the preservation, distribution, and promotion of works of animation art. The program, celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary, reflects the Cinematheques' holdings of various filmmakers, countries, periods, styles, and techniques. The works were selected by Louise Beaudet, curator of animation, Cinematheque Quebecoise, Montreal.
