Movies as Luck By Chance, Bill Brber, Dostana, Rock On, Drona any many other will be shown in Prague cinema Svetozor and also exclusively at Indian Embassy. The projection in embassy will be free and visitors will pay onyl 100 Czech crowns in the cinema Svetozor. Movies are available with Czech and English subtitles.


The theme of this 7th festival is Faces of India. Visitors will see documentary movies, dramas and comedies. They will also have a chance to taste some of the typical Indian food, such as samosas.
However it is very interesting how this festival started. When Radim Spacek, festival´s artisic director, came from his pilgrimage he wanted to have an Indian movie night with his friends. Although his apartment was to small, so it took place at the Film Academy, where suddenly hundreds of people showed up. From that time, festival became a famous event. Last year´s festival had about 4,000 visitors.
