Podcast: STORIES FROM THE EASTERN WEST #36 - DAISIES

Hear the story of the ground-breaking director who left a lasting mark on world cinema.
Vera Chytilová was the most important woman director of the Czechoslovak New Wave - although she remains relatively unknown outside of Central Europe. As the first female student of the prestigious FAMU film school in Prague, she had to fight in order to do things her own way. During the creative explosion of the Czechoslovak New Wave, she made her most well known film ‘Daisies’ (1966) - a surrealist pop-art comedy, about two young women who set their minds on creating humorous destruction around them.
