From Christmas Magic to New Wave Classics – Explore Czech Culture the Movie Way

Immerse yourself in Czech culture like never before with an exciting new lineup of films brought to you by the “Some Like It Czech” project.

Hosted under the iconic roof of Prague’s Aero cinema, this beloved project offers English-friendly screenings of Czech classic movies for local expats to bridge cultural gaps and provide an entertaining window into Czech traditions, humor, and history. Learn more.

Following three successful screenings that attracted over 750 attendees, the project continues its fourth season with more iconic Czech films, including a cherished Christmas classic, a Czechoslovak New Wave gem by Miloš Forman, and a quirky early-2000s comedy.

The next screening is on December 11th, featuring the beloved Christmas classic “Three Wishes for Cinderella” (watch the trailer), a holiday favorite across Central Europe and Scandinavia. Although filmed in the grey, socialist 70s, this magical fairytale puts a fresh twist on the classic Cinderella story.

As always, the film will be shown with English subtitles and an informative introduction. To get you in the holiday spirit, the organizers will also be offering a tasting of cukroví, traditional Czech Christmas cookies! Tickets are already on sale. 

The new year with “Some Like It Czech” kicks off on a high note on the 22nd of January with “Loves of a Blonde“, a bittersweet gem by the world-famous Academy Award-winning director Miloš Forman. This Czech New Wave classic follows the young and naïve Andula as she navigates love and heartbreak in a small-town factory. The film is a poignant yet humorous exploration of life’s complexities that made Forman an international name, earning him his first Academy Award nomination in 1967.  

For the 19th of February, the “Some Like It Czech” team has lined up the wildly entertaining “One Hand Can’t Clap“. Directed by David Ondříček, this early-2000s comedy is a chaotic, unpredictable ride featuring Jiří Macháček, the magnetic star of Czech cinema.

Packed with quirky characters, absurd situations, and razor-sharp humor, the film follows in the footsteps of Ondříček’s earlier hit Loners, which sold out at a Some Like It Czech screening two years ago  and remains one of the project’s standout successes.

Got a favorite? Save the dates! Tickets for Three Wishes for Cinderella are already on sale, and presale for other upcoming screenings will be announced on the project’s Instagram (@some_like_it_czech) or Facebook (@Somelikeitczech).
