Citizen Havel Calendar (in Czech)

Viewers attending the premieres received a Citizen Havel Calendar. You can have a look at it here, save it on your computer and, if you like, print it out and hang it on your wall. It’ll last you until the end of January 2009 and you can use it to write down important events in your life. It’ll certainly be interesting to take another look at it in a few years’ time. What’s more, you’ll also find a recipe for Burgundy goulash à la Havel.

Interview with Václav Havel (in Czech)

Jan Lukeš went off to Hrádeček to chat to Václav Havel, among other things, about Pavel Koutecký’s films and what it was like filming with him. The meadow murmured in the wind behind them, a breeze turned over the pages and the crickets were chirping. And you can hear it all in the background.
