Actress + Q&A with actress Iva Janžurová and director Theodora Remundová
November 22 | 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Iva Janžurová and Theodora Remundová — mother and daughter, subject and director — join forces to create an intimate, unconventional portrait of one of the Czech Republic’s greatest screen and stage icons. Blending playful re-enactments, behind-the-scenes moments, and rare archival footage, the film dives into Janžurová’s unforgettable roles, razor-sharp humour, and unshakable humanity. From sold-out performances at the National Theatre to village stages, from personal letters to candid family scenes, Actress reveals the passion, resilience, and joy that have made her a national treasure. A moving, mischievous, and refreshingly honest celebration of a life lived entirely in the spotlight — and on her own terms.
Age rating: 15
