Guest Slovak Embassy Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Friends of Slovakia (FOS) and the Embassy of the Slovak Republic would like to invite you to the screening of the full-length Slovak film PACHO, HYBSKÝ ZBOJNÍK (PACHO, THE BRIGAND OF HYBE) directed by Martin Ťapák Wednesday, 23 July 2008 at 8:00 pm Embassy of the Slovak Republic 3523 International Court, NW Washington, DC 20008 Cast: Jozef Kroner, Slavomír Záhradník, Peter Debnár, Marián Labuda, Ida Rapaičová, Ivan Rajniak Slovak version with English subtitles Seats are limited! Please RSVP by Monday 21 July to (202) 237-1054, ext. 266, 200 or to information@slovakembassy-us.org Voluntary donation of $5 to Friends of Slovakia at the door Pacho, the Brigand of Hybe (1975) was based on the story written by Peter Jaroš as a humorous resemblance of the Slovak legendary hero Juro Jánošík, spiced up with numerous components of Slovak folklore. The resulting picture is one of the very few, if not the only truly well-done Slovak film parody. Jozef Kroner´s unforgettable performance in the lead role, supported by the witty dialogues written by classic Slovak comedians Milan Lasica and Július Satinský made the film into a unique phenomenon of Slovak cinematographic tradition.
