The first part of the film “Audition” takes us to the rehearsal of a provincial brass band. The authoritarian band master orders his company of amateur musicians around. Among them is Vlada, a shy, young trombonist who is thinking of skipping an upcoming orchestra festival because he wants to watch a motorcycle race that is going to take place at the same time.
The second part of the this pseudo-documentary follows several teenage singers as they audition for the Semafor Theatre along with hundreds of other teenage girls.
Miloš Forman studied at the Film Faculty of the Academy of Arts in Prague. The first international recognition came with “Black Peter” (1964), which marked the beginning of the Czech New Wave, also screened at “Scanorama”. After that the film “Loves of the Blonde” (1965) received an Academy Award nomination. In the context of the Prague Spring and having his satire “The Firemen’s Ball” (1967) banned in the country, Forman left for the United States. There he subsequently gained worldwide success and recognition with films like “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (1975), which won five Academy Awards, as well as “Amadeus” (1984), which was awarded eight “Oscars”, and four BAFTA and Golden Globe awards.
