The Gift
The Puppet Master: The Films of Jiří Trnka
Revered as the pioneer of a remarkable new genre of animation that utilized puppets, Trnka conveyed the drama and psychology of his characters through his figures’ body language, expressive lighting, and camera movement. The director’s approach to puppet film as a serious art form was borne out of the lively Czech puppet theater tradition, which helped preserve the language over centuries of Hapsburg rule when there were no Czech schools, theater, or books published in the language. Already a prolific artist, author, and beloved book illustrator in his country, Trnka made films that had enormous impact on the development of Czech animation, and he inspired the careers of generations of filmmakers and animators around the globe. Trnka’s body of work as a director—18 short and six feature-length animated films in total—was rivaled only by Walt Disney Studios in output and brought him international acclaim, from Cannes to Venice and beyond. With his puppet animation studio, founded in 1946, he helped lay the groundwork for Czech animation predominance alongside stop-motion animation masters Karel Zeman, Hermína Týrlová, Jan Švankmajer, and Jiří Barta. This best-of retrospective series presents, among others, Trnka’s Venice Film Festival prize-winning first feature The Czech Year, his Shakespeare adaptation A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and shorts programs featuring the filmmaker’s unique early work in hand-drawn cartoons (including Cannes Film Festival prizewinning The Animals and the Brigands), his magical family-friendly works, and his later, more formally and politically defiant films (featuring his final masterpiece, The Hand, about the plight of artists toiling under the restrictions of a totalitarian government).—Irena Kovarova. The touring retrospective The Puppet Master: The Films of Jiří Trnka is produced by Comeback Company, originated at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Curated by Irena Kovarova. Films provided by the Czech National Film Archive.

Saturday, November 17, 7 pm A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Czechoslovakia, 1959 dir. Jiří Trnka (78 mins., animation, 35mm)
In his final feature—also the first CinemaScope film made in Czechoslovakia—Trnka deploys the full force of his imagination and technical wizardry to evoke the story’s enchanted woodlands setting, a garlanded, pastel dreamscape awash in starry-night atmosphere, colorful festoons of flowers, and exquisitely wrought fantasy creatures. screens with

Saturday, November 24, 4:30 pm The Emperor’s Nightingale, Czechoslovakia, 1948 dir. Jiří Trnka & Miloš Makovec (72 mins., animation, 35mm)
Trnka’s adaptation of a classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale is an enchanting animated jewel box. Framed by live action sequences—about a lonely boy shut away from fun and play—the story unfolds as a child’s dream vision, a tale of illusion versus reality in which a Chinese emperor is ensorcelled first by the song of a nightingale, then by its mechanical replica. Working in a rich red, green, and gold visual palette, Trnka conjures a hallucinatory storybook world of moonlit bamboo forests, softly glowing Chinese lanterns, and bursting fireworks displays all set to a gorgeous, rhapsodic score by his key collaborator, Václav Trojan. screens with

Marlene Dietrich in Morocco
Dietrich & Garbo in the 1930s
Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich were two of Hollywood’s—and the world’s—biggest movie stars in that most crucial decade, the 1930s, in which the industry was just beginning to perfect the use of sound in motion pictures. Garbo moved from her native Sweden to Hollywood during the silent era and made a string of beautiful pictures at MGM, while Dietrich came from Germany later, achieving immediate success as Josef von Sternberg’s main collaborator at Paramount. At the beginning of the decade, the two starred in many films that would later become known as pre-Code: scandal-laced films where almost anything went. Both were famously, frequently androgynous on screen, playing to the hilt their smoky voices and seductive visages, always swathed in layers of immaculate costumes, copious cigarette smoke, and hazy cinematography. The two were fierce rivals, to be sure, but rumors of a prolonged affair between them have for 80 years swirled in Hollywood and beyond—to which both consistently replied that they never once met. However, what we are left with is their towering achievements of staging, cinematography, writing, and featuring some of the finest acting ever committed to celluloid. Saturday, December 1, 7 pm Ninotchka, US, 1939
Sunday, December 2, 4:30 pm Destry Rides Again, US, 1939
“Garbo laughs!” reads MGM’s original tagline, the actress finally teaming up with legendary comedy director Ernst Lubitsch for this tale of international intrigue, and romance in which she plays a Russian envoy sent to Paris in search of three jewel-smuggling compatriots.
In this vintage Western, Dietrich stars as a bar singer caught up in a violent game as her beau, a saloon owner with totalitarian tendencies, exerts a stranglehold over the town of Bottleneck. Meanwhile, a new sheriff’s deputy (James Stewart) enters, intent on cleaning things up.

Greta Garbo in Anna Karenina
Sunday, December 2, 7 pm The Kiss, US, 1929
Saturday, December 15, 2 pm Morocco, US, 1930
This late MGM silent stars the luminous Garbo as a society woman caught in a love quadrangle—with her wealthy husband, a dashing young lawyer, and an 18-year-old—that can only spell doom for at least one of the lovers.
Dietrich’s first Hollywood film, an atmospheric melodrama in which she portrays a cabaret singer caught between two loves after fleeing to North Africa, cemented her stardom.
dir. Jacques Feyder (65 mins., drama, 35mm)
Sunday, December 9, 4:30 pm The Blue Angel, Germany, 1930
dir. Josef von Sternberg (108 mins., drama, 35mm)
Dietrich, who plays the cabaret singer Lola-Lola, shot to fame in her first collaboration with director Josef von Sternberg—a film which is also the first German full-talkie.
Sunday, December 9, 7 pm Anna Christie, US, 1930
dir. Clarence Brown (89 mins., drama, 35mm)
“Garbo talks!” in this relatively unglamorous 1930 MGM work, adapted from the Pulitzer-Prize-winning play by Eugene O’Neill, which concerns an estranged daughter returning to her father’s home after 15 years of hard living.
dir. Josef von Sternberg (91 mins., drama, 35mm)
Sunday, December 16, 4:30 pm Dishonored, US, 1931
dir. Josef von Sternberg (91 mins., spy thriller, 35mm)
Von Sternberg’s foray into the spy thriller genre features Dietrich in a thrilling role as ex-sex worker/pianist Marie Kolverer (aka Agent X-27), who is charged with rooting out double agents within the Austrian Secret Service during WWI.
Friday, December 21, 7 pm Mata Hari, US, 1931
dir. George Fitzmaurice (89 mins., spy drama, 35mm)
One of Garbo’s most salacious yet commercially successful films, Mata Hari sees the titular WWI-era exotic dancer caught in a tangle of lies and deceit as she carries out several secret spy missions—but on whose behalf?

Queen Christina
Saturday, December 22, 4:30 pm Shanghai Express, US, 1932
dir. Josef von Sternberg (80 mins., drama, 35mm)
The film that completely cemented Dietrich in Hollywood lore, Shanghai Express features some of von Sternberg’s most indelible compositions and staged situations as the titular train moves from Peking to Shanghai, picking up melodrama and tragedy along its circuitous route.
Dietrich and von Sternberg tackle the historical costume drama—in this case the court of Catherine the Great—which is upended in true Sternbergian, expressionistic style, complete with hedonistic parties and political intrigue that will make anyone blush.
Friday, December 28, 7 pm The Devil is a Woman, US, 1935
dir. Josef von Sternberg (76 mins., drama, 35mm)
Dietrich and von Sternberg’s final collaboration, after a long and fruitful partnership often sullied by rumors and innuendo, sees our star playing Concha Perez, a notorious Spanish seductress caught between two men.
Saturday, December 22, 7 pm Blonde Venus, US, 1932
Saturday, December 29, 7 pm Anna Karenina, US, 1935
Dietrich and von Sternberg’s fourth Hollywood collaboration centers on Helen (Dietrich) and her sick husband (Herbert Marshall), who must get treatment abroad. Meanwhile, a slick politician with money to burn (Cary Grant) falls head over heels for Helen.
Tolstoy on the silver screen was in no better hands than Garbo’s, who stars as the famous Russian countess infatuated with a military officer (Fredric March), putting her marriage and child on the line in a search for happiness.
dir. Josef von Sternberg (93 mins., drama, 35mm)
Sunday, December 23, 4:30 pm Queen Christina, US, 1933
dir. Rouben Mamoulian (97 mins., drama, 35mm)
17th-century Swedish queen Christina (a luminous and frequently cross-dressing Garbo) is forced to choose between country and personal happiness after meeting a dashing Spanish sailor (John Gilbert). 8
