Martin Řezníček

This film traces the life of Jan Kapr, a prominent Czech composer of the 20th century. A documentary opera with an ambitious libretto and playful and refined editing work, Kapr Code is an unexpected celebration of creativity that shakes up our ideas of biography and pays tribute to the importance of resisting homologation and censorship through art and creation.

Musicians Jim Cert and Jaroslav Erno Sedivy between San Francisco and Prague.

The focus of director Martin Řezníček's meditative narrative is the almost forgotten Czech-French sculptor, painter, designer and beekeeper Jan Křížek. The unique artist, a representative of the art brut movement, left Czechoslovakia in 1947 with his wife Jiřina and worked and lived mainly in France.
