Archive

The Archive gathers records of Goodbye to Language's past screenings and related events: programs, notes, posters, photos, and fragments of response. It is a slow-growing log of where we have shown films, with whom, and under what circumstances—so that each small event remains visible, linkable, and available as a reference for future projects.

The films touched on themes which for earlier film makers in the communist countries had rarely managed to avoid the objections of the censor, such as the misguided youths of Czechoslovak society portrayed in Miloš Forman's Black Peter (1963) and Loves of a Blonde (1965), or those caught in a surrealistic whirlwind in Věra Chytilová's Daisies (1966) and Jaromil Jireš' Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970). The films often expressed dark and absurd humour in opposition to social realist films of the 1950s.
