Jindřich Štreit, Humanity
Residents of marginalized regions undergoing transformation, in Bohemia and in France in the 1990s, documented with tenderness, empathy, and humility by the great self-taught Czech photographer, who turns 80 in 2026. The exhibition presents previously unpublished gelatin silver prints, carefully selected for this occasion from the photographer's monumental archives by curators Štěpánka Stein and Emmanuelle de l'Ecotais.
FAMU, Y a pas photo!
The FAMU exhibition, devoted to the dialogue between generations, highlights half a century of image-making education at the prestigious Prague Film Academy, which has produced major European filmmakers such as Agnieszka Holland, Věra Chytilová, and Miloš Forman.
Photography also holds an essential and particularly dynamic place there. Through a selection curated by Noemi Purkrabkova, the exhibition offers an in-depth look at the evolving relationship between photography and reality, as well as its capacity to create visual references that shape our perception of the contemporary world.
Czech Center Paris
The history of its Paris headquarters carries strong symbolic weight: it was there that the Czech National Council, the foundation of the future Czechoslovak government, was founded in 1916. Since its opening in 1997 in one of the capital's liveliest neighborhoods, the Czech Centre in Paris has been a prime venue for welcome and exchange between France and the Czech Republic, bringing together every form of artistic expression: visual arts, design, music, literature, film, theater, as well as Czech language instruction.
FAMU – Prague Film and TV School
Founded in 1946, FAMU is one of the three faculties of the Prague Academy of Performing Arts and the fifth-oldest film school in Europe. It offers both practical and theoretical training in film, television, photography, and new media, in Czech and English.
In the 1960s, FAMU became a major hub of the "Czech New Wave," which helped bring Czechoslovak cinema international acclaim and earned, among other honors, two Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. Its graduates include Miloš Forman, Agnieszka Holland, and Jiří Menzel; the writer Milan Kundera also studied dramaturgy there.
