The sixties in Czech and Slovak cinema were bold experiments, metaphors, and absurdity, behind which lay debates about freedom, memory, and everyday life. At the film club meeting, bright films of the era will be analyzed, the directors of the new wave will be introduced, and their daring view of life under socialism will be discussed, along with why these stories still resonate with audiences. When talking about the cinema of the sixties, Italy or France are most often recalled, but in the northeast of Europe, a quiet revolution was also taking place at that time. In Czechoslovakia, young directors broke free from studio templates, peered into communal kitchens, student dormitories, and small provincial towns to tell stories about uncomfortable feelings, freedom, irony, and coming of age. The meeting will analyze how directors used humor, grotesque, and everyday details to discuss things that seemed risky to official rhetoric. The camera moved closer to the faces of the characters, capturing awkward pauses, laughter, fatigue, and behind the external simplicity of the plot lay questions of personal responsibility and the limits of compromise. Audiences will see how the language of cinema changed and why the black-and-white stories of the sixties still feel alive and sharp. Special attention will be paid to directors and screenwriters who managed to combine the poetic nature of the frame with documentary observation. The conversation will center on visual motifs, sound play, work with non-professional actors, and scenes where humor suddenly turns into anxiety. Such contrasts created a sense of fragile balance between private life and the pressure of ideology. We know what to watch in Saint Petersburg.
