Screening current hits from the Czech Republic, The Czech That Film festival tours Los Angeles from March 27 – April 2. In its fourth year, its program will travel to 19 cities in total.

The Los Angeles festival opens on Friday, March 27 at 7 pm with the screening of “Fair Play”—a story of a 19-year old sprinter aiming for the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles who gets involved with the state-controlled doping program. Scheduled to attend is the film’s director, Andrea Sedlackova, who will introduce the film, and participate in a Q&A session with the audience after the screening.

Although admission is free to the general public, reservations are required.
