KVIFF Classics Returns to Světozor Cinema with Restored Film Gems

From Thursday, 16 January, to Saturday, 18 January 2025, Prague’s Světozor cinema will host the third edition of KVIFF Classics, a showcase of classic films organized by the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in cooperation with the National Film Archive. As usual, the KVIFF Classics show, with the subtitle Returns of Film Legends, will offer Czech and foreign films that have made an indelible mark on the history of world cinema and can no longer be seen on the big screen. Since most of the featured films have undergone digital restoration, the event continues the tradition of presenting restored films and retrospectives at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. The festival will commemorate, among other milestones, the centenaries of the birth of three film greats: actors Paul Newman and Peter Sellers, and director Robert Altman. KVIFF Classics will open with Věra Chytilová’s Kalamita, whose restored version was made possible thanks to the financial support of Milada and Eduard Kučer. “Classics belong on cinema screens, and we are happy to continue this mission. The third edition of KVIFF CLASSICS presents a varied genre mix of films that have stood the test of time with honour, among other things thanks to the captivating charisma...

Penny Market Offers Discounts on Silicone Implants to Fight Breast Cancer

Penny Market’s latest advertisement has turned heads across Prague, particularly in Modřany, where its billboard offering free silicone breast implants has stirred considerable attention. This unusual promotion is part of a broader campaign to raise awareness about breast cancer while providing tangible benefits to the public. The marketing campaign offers a discount of up to CZK 100,000 on breast implants, as well as free purchases of up to 10,000 crowns, provided customers meet the competition’s criteria. Penny Market spokesperson Kamila Kottnauerová confirmed that five winners will receive free plastic surgery as part of the promotion. But the store’s initiative goes beyond mere sales tactics. Penny Market has partnered with a breast cancer prevention campaign, seeking to inform the public about the importance of early detection. In addition to the discounts, Penny Market is offering free breast ultrasound examinations to women who may not have access to them through their insurance. Any woman who books an appointment at the Smíchov Health Center in Prague by the end of January and completes the exam by June 30, 2025, will receive the service at no cost. The response to the campaign has been overwhelming. Within the first day, the available slots for the...

VIDEO: Man Falls to Death, Witness Takes Photo and Walks Away

Police are calling for the public’s assistance in locating a young man who witnessed a tragic accident at the Luka metro station. A man died after falling down a flight of stairs, and investigators believe the witness’s account could help clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident. The fatal fall occurred on Saturday, October 5th, in the afternoon. The man reportedly fell down the stairs, remained lying at the bottom, and later succumbed to his injuries. According to police spokesman Jan Rybanský, the witness likely saw the entire event and may have noticed crucial details that were not captured on surveillance footage. “It is possible that the young man observed additional factors, such as the causes of the fall, which are not visible in the seized records,” said Rybanský. Footage from a security camera reveals that the young man noticed the victim lying at the bottom of the stairs. He initially turned to leave but then took photos with his mobile phone before walking away. Police are urging anyone who recognizes the young man, knows his identity, or has information about the incident to contact the emergency line at 158. Rybanský also appealed directly to the witness, encouraging him to visit...

Prague City to Debate Noise Limits for Late-Night Concerts

Prague City is revisiting the idea of limiting noise from concerts after 10:00 p.m. City councilor Adam Zábranský (Piráti) revealed plans to draft a new decree addressing the issue and introduce a citywide regulation that includes specific exceptions for designated areas. Addressing a Recurring Issue The debate over concert noise intensified during the pandemic when protective measures led to performances being relocated from Lucerna Music Bar to Prague Open Air in Braník. Nearby residents complained about the frequent loud music, prompting then-councilor for legislation, Hana Kordová Marvanová, to propose a regulation limiting noise. Zábranský now seeks inspiration from similar noise ordinances in other Czech cities, where regulations are already in place for larger metropolitan areas. He proposes extending the ban on certain events, such as concerts, across Prague after 10:00 p.m., with potential exceptions allowing activities until 11:00 p.m. in less noise-sensitive zones. Balancing Noise Control and Cultural Events Zábranský suggests defining exceptions for specific locations where noise complaints are less likely, striking a balance between maintaining cultural events and respecting residents’ rights. “There is an agreement that a specific regulation is necessary because the current situation is unsatisfactory,” Zábranský explained. He emphasized that the decree would directly address music-related...

Prague Farmers’ Markets Reopen for the 2025 Season

Prague’s beloved farmers’ markets are gearing up for another season. Two iconic markets—Náplavka in Prague 2 and Kubáň in Prague 10—will open their stalls on Saturday, February 1. Náplavka: Celebrating 16 Years of Community and Fresh Produce Sixteen years ago, the first-ever farmers’ market on Prague’s Rašínovo nábřeží embankment marked the start of a tradition that few initially believed would thrive. “Attempts to establish a market here had failed before. Even farmers were skeptical at first, and we had to work hard to convince them,” recalls Jiří Sedláček, chairman of the Archetyp Association, which operates the market. The persistence paid off. From its humble beginnings with just 28 vendors, Náplavka has grown into a bustling marketplace with 90 to 100 stalls offering an array of farm-fresh goods every Saturday from February to December, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. This year, the market will reopen on February 1, featuring handmade salamis, artisanal pâtés, pickled meats, fresh fish (weather permitting), pastries, spices, and a variety of other culinary delights. Kubáň: A Neighbourhood Market Farmers’ markets on Kubánské náměstí have been a staple of Prague 10 since 2010. After a few changes in management over the years, the Archetyp association returned in 2019...

How Prague Changed Over 30 Years: Rare Images from the 80’s

Prague has undergone significant changes over the past 30 years. Rare photos from the socialist era of the 1980s show a quieter city, free from the crowds of tourists and the commercial signs we see today. Jindřišská Street, which connects Wenceslas Square and Senovážné Square, still looks similar today, even though the tram routes have changed. However, Charles Bridge is now packed with visitors almost all day, while in the 1980s, it was a peaceful spot for locals early in the morning. Photos of children playing in Rytířská Street remind us of a time when people still lived in the city center, something that feels unimaginable today. The old-new synagogue is one of Prague’s iconic sites, but in the 1980s, it had a neglected appearance, with a worn facade and an untidy interior. Thankfully, it has been restored to reflect its historical importance. Wenceslas Square has also changed. Slogans like “With the Soviet Union forever” have disappeared, and the National Museum has been beautifully renovated, making the square a much more pleasant place to visit.                 Photos: vintag.es

Prague’s Old Town Christmas Tree Transformed Into Outdoor Furniture

The Christmas tree from Old Town Square was removed on January 9th. Its wood will be repurposed to create outdoor furniture and furnishings for social facilities, while part of it will return to its native Krompach. The festive season officially concluded on Monday, January 6th, when Prague residents saw the tree lit for the last time on Three Kings Day. Dismantling began promptly the next day, with workers carefully removing hundreds of decorations and kilometers of light chains. By Thursday, January 9th, the tree was fully disassembled and prepared for its next chapter. On Thursday morning, the tree was lifted from its anchoring shaft with heavy equipment. After its trunk was cut, the tree was taken away for further processing into carpentry wood. Prague plans to use the wood for outdoor furniture and furnishings in selected social service facilities. However, part of the tree will return to Krompach in the Lužické hory, its place of origin. For example, the tree will be used to create an insect hotel for a school garden in Krompach and products to benefit the Paprsek Children’s Center in Prague 9. Dřevo Praha will process the tree in Sibřin, where the logs will be left to dry. The...

Tragedy in Prague Metro: Passenger Dies After Jumping Onto Tracks

A 25-year-old man tragically died in an apparent suicide under a train at Prague’s Národní Třída metro station on Friday morning. The incident caused significant disruptions to metro service, which was suspended for two hours. Police spokesperson Eva Kropáčová confirmed that the preliminary investigation points to suicide. “The man jumped onto the tracks just before the train arrived,” she stated.

Emergency services arrived promptly but found the victim trapped under the train’s structure. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Emergency Service reported, “Unfortunately, the injuries were incompatible with life. Paramedics reached the victim but could no longer assist him.” The tragic event occurred around 10:00 am, leading to the suspension of metro service between Smíchovské nádraží and Florenc in both directions.
