Summer Cinema — Flashdance + introduction by Jakub Kůs

ENG + CZ subtitles

Series "The Musical Glow of Summer Cinema" 
September at Kasárna Karlín will be framed by music films! Over four evenings, our summer cinema will screen films in which music isn't just accompaniment, but the driving force behind the story. The series is curated by Jakub Kůs.

Flashdance is a 1983 film set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that follows the journey of Alex Owens, portrayed by Jennifer Beals. By day, Alex works as a welder, while at night, she showcases her talent as a dancer in a nightclub, all while aspiring to become a professional ballet dancer. The film contrasts the gritty reality of Alex's steel mill job with the aspirational world of classical ballet, highlighting themes of ambition, competition, and personal struggle.
