HAVEL SPEAKING, CAN YOU HEAR ME? Czechia, 2008, 75 min, color, documentary

The film follows the last three years of the life of Václav Havel – playwright, dissident and political leader, last president of Czechoslovakia and first president of the Czech Republic. It shows Havel both in official meetings with state leaders and in personal, intimate moments, revealing lesser-known aspects of his character, philosophy, and human weaknesses. The documentary narrative is based on more than 200 hours of unique video footage shot between 2009 and 2011 with the full trust of Havel himself, who personally invited the director to film “the rest of his life”.
