I'm always a day or two behind in listening to the programs from the various international broadcasters I listen to, so I just got around to looking up something that Radio Prague's English service ran on Wednesday
NaFilM: Czech film students’ National Film Museum project set to premiere
The Czech film tradition dates to the very beginnings of the medium itself, and the country’s film archive is among the world’s oldest. Yet the Czech Republic had no national museum dedicated to the art form. Five years ago, three film students set out to rectify that. Building on pop-up exhibitions, their NaFilM project now has a permanent home – though still undergoing reconstruction. NaFilM cofounder Terezie Křížkovská talks about how their dream to establish an innovative, hands-on, interactive National Film Museum became a reality.
As usual, the Radio Prague website has a transcript of the feature, as well as the opportunity either to stream the audio or download it directly as an MP3. The direct download is here, a 6.7MB MP3 that runs around 15 minutes. This time, however, I'd recommend also going to the pge, as the film students made a promotional ad for the museum to try to get funding, and that's embedded in the page. Watch for the shoutout to Closely Watched Trains at the end.
