logoindex.jpg, 51 kBIn March 2006 a few Czech 70mm film fans came together for a unique experience. The event was the first "70mm seminar" to be held in the Kino Mir 70 cinema.

For the first time in many years the audience, mostly students, projectionists and teachers from the city of Krnov in the Czech Republic experienced the unique quality of the 70mm format. The event was successful and the team who organized it decided to continue with a second festival in 2007 and now for the third time:

18 - 20 . April 2008.

Under patronage of the City Council of Krnov and with the cooperation of ACFC and Masaryk University in Brno, the Mir 70 theatre will again be the meeting point for  film enthusiasts from not only the Czech Republic but also visitors from Austria, Denmark, Holland, Poland and Germany.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Projectors will be on display display in the in Mir 70 foyer and everyone will be invited to visit the projection room. The invitation will not go unnoticed, and the projection room will again be full of guests of all ages.

A small breakfast before the morning screening and some refreshment during the whole seminar will be prepared for all visitors.

This story of the miller Florian, who gave all his money to the war against Napoleon, is loosely based on a true story. After the war, Florian's reimbursement is challenged, and he must also pay taxes on his destroyed mill. He resists the tax collectors and takes off to Vienna, where he intends to defend his rights. On the way, he rescues the Duchess of Guastalla from assault. She also wants to go to Vienna, as His Majesty Franz II is trying to contest an heir in her favor. With cunning, luck, and dagger, Florian fights his way through a slew of nobility and their secret police. In the end, he acquires multiple titles, and the Duchess acquires him.
