An important, yet rarely viewed example from the Czech New Wave, Jan Schmidt’s feature follows a group of post-nuclear survivors, all women, existentially seeking to both stay alive and perpetuate human kind. (Konec Srpna v Hotelu Ozon, Jan Schmidt, 1967, Czech with English subtitles, DCP, 77 minutes) 

Part of the film series Ecocinema Beyond the Iron Curtain.
