“She turned down Hollywood to become Goebbels’ lover”
The Czech &Slovak Film Festival opens with The Devil’s Mistress / Lída Baarová (CZ/SK, 2016)
One of the greatest untold love stories of the 20th century, the story of Lída Baarová, a beautiful Czech actress, who conquered Germany’s silver screen as well as the heart of one of the Third Reich’s most powerful men: the Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. How could Hitler’s chief ideologist fall in love with a non-Aryan Slavonic beauty whose race had been designated as inferior by the Führer and whose country was soon to be occupied by the Nazis? How could one of Europe’s most glamorous actresses reject offers of stardom from Hollywood in preference to a dangerous romance with the Nazi monster with a deformed leg?
Opening night begins at 6PM with screening at 6:30 PM including short film Rosso Papavero (SK, 2014)
Followed by drinks, finger food and music.
