“Some Like It Czech” Launches 4th Season of English-Friendly Screenings

Whether you are spending your exchange in the Czech Republic, or you have been living here for a while, Czech culture can seem strange or bizarre.

Why not tackle it in the most fun way – with movies? The successful screening cycle “Some Like It Czech” from cinema Aero kicks off its fourth season on September 25th with the retro cult comedy “Smoke” (Get your tickets here). 

What began as a university project three years ago has gradually evolved into an integral part of the Žižkov cinema Aero program. Every month, the iconic green hall resonates with laughter and the English language, as expats gather to learn more about the country they have chosen to live in.

The wide selection of Czech movies thoughtfully selected to display different facets of Czech culture and history is complemented with English subtitles and a spoiler-free explanatory introduction ensuring that nothing gets lost in translation.

“We want to offer our audience as diverse variety of films as possible, so we don’t just show world-renowned films, but also dramas depicting milestones in Czech history, and beloved comedies that have etched themself into the collective consciousness of every Czech,” says the founder of the project Anna Šenfeldová. 

For the grand opening of the season on September 25th, the organizers have selected the cult classic “Smoke”, a quirky satire portraying the absurdities of life under a totalitarian regime. Check out the trailer and the pre-sale. 

The next two announced movies include the Oscar-nominated drama “My Sweet Little Village”, screened on October 16th, and the recent box-office hit “Zátopek”, a biopic about the renowned Czechoslovakian record-breaking runner, screened on November 13th.
