Prague Nights (Blu-ray)

In the vein of horror anthologies like Mario Bava’s BLACK SABBATH, the long-unseen PRAGUE NIGHTS is a gorgeous and supernatural vision of ancient and modern Prague, caught between Mod Sixties fashions and nightmarish Medieval catacombs, and filled with Qabbalistic magic, occult rituals, giant Golems, clockwork automatons and satanic visitors. • New video interview with Czech film critic and screenwriter Tereza Brdečková on her father, Jiří Brdečka (co-director and co-writer of PRAGUE NIGHTS), covering his famed career as a filmmaker, animator & screenwriter (approx. 45 minutes, in English).
• New audio commentary by Tereza Brdečková and Czech film expert Irena Kovarova of Comeback Company.
• Two superb and haunting Jiří Brdečka animated short films: “Pomsta” (Revenge) (1968, 14 min.), and “Jsouc na řece mlynář jeden” (There Was A Miller On A River) (1971, 11 min.). Both in Czech with English subtitles.
• New essay by Tereza Brdečková on the making of PRAGUE NIGHTS, translated by Jonathan Owen.
• Blu-ray authoring by David Mackenzie of Fidelity In Motion.
• New art by Beth Morris.
