22 Mar – The Czech Republic Film Festival (CRFF) officially returns for its second edition in Malaysia, following the opening ceremony held yesterday evening at GSC Pavilion KL. The opening film for CRFF 2018 is none other than the award-winning "Barefoot", the war comedy film released last year in the European country that went on to win 5 Czech Lion Awards including Best Supporting Actor and Best Cinematography.
Other films that are included in this year's line-up are "Angel of the Lord 2", "The Seven Ravens", "Kooky" and "Adela Has Not Had Supper Yet", which perfectly highlight Czech Republic's love of fairy tales; "we keep on watching fairy tales even as adults", as the ambassador said. CRFF 2018 is enjoying a good reception, thanks to the success of last year's edition, which recorded a commendable 74 percent occupancy, as revealed by GSC CEO Ms. Koh Mei Lee. "The second chapter of the Czech Republic Film Festival has received an overwhelming response as all the tickets at Mid Valley had been fully redeemed and there are only a few tickets left here at Pavilion," said Ms. Koh in her speech.
CRFF 2018 takes place from today until 25 March, showing its 5 movies at GSC Mid Valley and GSC Pavilion KL. Supported by Cinema Online as the Online Movie Partner, the Czech Republic Film Festival 2018 is organised by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Kuala Lumpur and Golden Screen Cinemas. It is also supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture Malaysia. Get more info and showtimes for the Czech Republic Film Festival 2018 HERE.
