A Midsummer Night’s Dream
My First Film Fest
November 9 - 11, 2018
This bewitching adaptation of Shakespeare’s romantic fairy tale is a masterpiece of balletic beauty that plays out amid a garlanded, pastel dreamscape.
Note: This screening will take place at the Francesca Beale Theater at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center.
Revered as the pioneer of a remarkable new genre of animation that utilized puppets, Czech animation master Jiri Trnka had enormous impact on the development of animation in his country, and he inspired the careers of an entire generation of filmmakers around the globe. In this bewitching adaptation of Shakespeare’s romantic fairy tale—perhaps Trnka’s masterpiece—the love lives of mortals and forest sprites mingle during one magical moonlit evening. For his final feature, Trnka deploys the full force of his imagination and technical wizardry to evoke the story’s enchanted-woodlands setting, a garlanded, pastel dreamscape awash in starry-night atmosphere, colorful festoons of flowers, and exquisitely wrought fantasy creatures.

Encore screening selected from our April retrospective The Puppet Master: The Complete Jiri Trnka.
