Prague, capital city of the Czech Republic, is bisected by the Vltava River. Nicknamed “the City of a Hundred Spires,” it's known for its Old Town Square, the heart of its historic core, with colorful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and the medieval Astronomical Clock, which gives an animated hourly show. Completed in 1402, pedestrian Charles Bridge is lined with statues of Catholic saints.
Memories and Dreams (1993)
A simple, albeit dramatic story. A life in fragmented memories, retold and relived in luminous, evocative images. Visually and aurally overwhelming, this astounding dramatized documentary is a rich retelling of one woman's story - the inspiring tale of Czech-born Johanna Kimla Ocenaskova. Combining animation, period dramatization, archival footage and elaborate hand-tinting and re-filming, animator/director Lynn-Maree Milburn's first solo work is a beautiful, highly original and deeply moving film. A kind of intimate epic, Memories and Dreams recounts Jo's life journey, through a concentration camp, the loss of her family and other harrowing incidents in the embattled Europe of the 30s and 40s, finally to emerge in a strange new land called Australia. Disavowing conventional documentary style, the film seems to float in a pool of recollected consciousness, where memory has defined the most important experiences; the real, the symbolic, the ephemeral, and sets them in gripping historical context. Five years in the making and the result of an elaborate and painstaking production process, Memories and Dreams gathers and builds into a memorable mosaic, mapping out the intense extremes of persistence, loss and personal survival, as endured by an exceptionally passionate and independent spirit.
