Biography
Jiří Menzel (b. 1938, Prague) is a key personality of the Czechoslovak New Wave and one of the most highly acclaimed Czech filmmakers internationally. His debut Closely Watched Trains (1966), the restored print of which will debut at KVIFF, took the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film; he has also received accolades for other Bohumil Hrabal novel adaptations, which form the central axis of his work. Larks on a String (1969) finally made it to theaters in 1990 following the regime change, while during the period of Normalization Cutting It Short (1980) and The Snowdrop Festival (1983) were box office favorites. Audiences also warmed to the comedies Seclusion near a Forest (1976) and My Sweet Little Village (1985). Capricious Summer, based on the work by Vladislav Vančura, won the Crystal Globe at KVIFF 1968. In addition to directing motion pictures, Menzel is also a longtime actor and, more recently, theater director.
