The 28th Made in Prague Festival in collaboration with Second Run presents a special screening celebrating the UK Blu-ray release of The Hop-Picker, the very first Czechoslovak film musical.

The Hop-Pickers was an instant sensation upon its release and continues to charm generations of Czech audiences. With its vibrant portrayal of youthful rebellion, blossoming romance, lively production numbers, and irresistibly catchy songs, it has endured as a beloved classic. Channeling the energy of the swinging ’60s with a distinctly Czech twist, The Hop-Pickers boldly blends music, dance, and New Wave realism, offering a fresh take on societal norms and a playful exploration of sexual freedom.
