One of the three most prestigious film festivals in the world, the Berlinale, opens this Thursday in Berlin. Among the Czech films presented this year is Věra Chytilová’s 1979 satirical film PanelStory, or How a Housing Development Is Born.
The film captures a single day in the unfinished Prague housing estate of Jižní Město and was released only two years after its completion, after the communist authorities initially withheld it from cinemas.
