About the venue: Summer Cinema Olomouc

Letní kino Olomouc, known locally as Letňák, sits on Pekární street right below the walls of Olomouc castle, a short walk from St. Wenceslas Cathedral. What started as a straightforward open-air cinema has grown into a multifunctional cultural venue with a capacity of 2,200. The large amphitheater takes concerts and film screenings, while several smaller stages handle more intimate events. The season traditionally runs from May to September.

About: Rudolf Hrušínský

Rudolf Hrušínský (1920-1994) left a mark on Czech cinema that has not faded: his Švejk, the chilling Kopfrkingl of The Cremator, and the languid Antonín of Capricious Summer are fixtures of the national cultural memory. A career stretching six decades, more than 200 screen roles, and honors ranging from the Sitges festival to France's Legion of Honor tell the story.
