a beautiful yet somewhat dingy building - an elegant piece of 1960s/1970s architecture even though not everybody sees it that way It has lots of interesting features: a marvelous marble foyer full of light FNE: What kinds of films do you prefer to screen and why Barbora Kucsa Prágerová: We are the last cinema in our town (there used to be three cinemas in town and we are the last one) so we screen all the major first runs of long anticipated blockbusters we have lots and lots of children's screenings we run a film club with documentaries and contemporary European films Just recently we've opened another screening area in our beautiful foyer Barbora Kucsa Prágerová: The way I see it Prostějov doesn't have a wide variety of possibilities to spend your free time Our aim is to provide the locals with a space where they would feel welcome and which they will grow fond of With our efforts we want to create a community which will choose to accommodate our cinema not only when there's a film being screened Barbora Kucsa Prágerová: I started working in the cinema roughly three years ago and the Europa Cinemas network has helped me immensely are the ones where I can always reach for advice it's not the money in the first place which we praise Europa Cinemas for but really the ideas being spread among its members the helping hands and minds and on top of that the shared sense that what we do we do with love and for a good reason Our cinema is not just a place for having fun while watching films talking about them and - in the very near future - also having a cup of very good coffee Barbora Kucsa Prágerová: In Prostějov there are basically few cultural institutions: a theatre Apart from film screenings we organise some alternative content It has been quite hard so far to engage the audience and to win them over for other events than  film screenings As we have recently opened a second screen and are in the middle of building a café I think cinemas like ours try to create a safe space where the locals not only spend their free time but where they strengthen their positive feelings towards culture sharing ideas and overall having a good time for reasonably good money Barbora Kucsa Prágerová: Young audiences are a very important segment in our cinema If we take into account the annual numbers out of 65,000 viewers 8,000 are school children another 8,000 are after school club attendees and about a third of the rest is other children films audience We know that children are extremely fond of moving images and we try to show them also other aesthetic approaches to e.g This year we bring for the second time a kids film festival to Prostějov where we also do workshops and other activities like silent film screenings with live music Barbora Kucsa Prágerová: I've been doing my job for not even three years the cinema had been long digitalised (since 2009) My predecessor didn't fully incorporate all the advantages of digital cinema in terms of programming some things are deeply rooted in how the municipality thinks about running a cinema so a lot of work lies ahead of us - issues such as shortening the programming period from one month to at least just two weeks the digitalisation gave us a tool to work with programming in a very flexible way and we try to make the most of it Click Here for Statements from European Film Organisations The Film New Europe (FNE) Association is the networking platform for film professionals in the CEE/SEE/Baltics region The webportal and FNE newswire was chosen as the MAIN TOOL to achieve the network’s objectives of the sharing of know how visibility of regional cultural diversity and finally the VOICE of the region FNE’s objectives include VISIBILITY for the region and AUDIENCES for films by providing a special focus on the region Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker This article was written in association with Palírna U Zeleného stromu. Read our sponsored content policy here Whiskey may not be the drink that’s brought the Czech Republic fame on a worldwide scale but the popularity of Czech whiskey both at home and abroad is undoubtedly on the rise The recent worldwide success of Palírna U Zeleného stromu (The Green Tree Distillery) – it recently took home a top prize at one of the world’s most prestigious tasting competitions – confirms the trend History of the “Palírna U Zeleného stromu” The Green Tree distillery was established on Jul. 4, 1518, and has stood witness to many historical events in Czechia over the centuries. In 2017, it returned to its original name Palírna U Zeleného stromu and today continues the Prostějov tradition of producing spirits from the highest quality ingredients One of the most distinctive products in its portfolio is the original Old Hunter's Rye the secret of which is known to only three people It is made from high-quality rye grains and distilled in the cellars of the Prostějov The distillery has several types of Old Hunter’s Rye whiskey in its portfolio One of them is the Old Hunter’s Rye Bourbon Cask Reserve which matures for four years in oak casks previously used to mature bourbon which gives it the taste and aroma of soft vanilla with notes of warm fruit "In the Czech Republic, the whiskey market is growing overall, and sales of more premium and branded products are higher," said Boris Rajdl, marketing manager for Palírna U Zeleného stromu "We have seen an increase of 80 percent in the Old Hunter’s Rye Reserve and Selection variants but the Old Hunter’s Rye Bourbon Cask Reserve is growing most progressively from the portfolio." The brand’s limited-edition run of its Old Hunter’s Rye Single Barrel 12YO The value of the bottle is predicted to increase over time Creating Old Hunter’s Rye|The base of this whiskey consists of a high-quality rye distillate and macerate from dried orchard fruits (plums and others according to a secret recipe)," said Master blender Roman Petruš Petruš “The Old Hunter’s Bourbon Cask Reserve is matured for a total of four years until it's mixed with fruit macerate in the final years of maturation The size of the barrels and the length of maturation allow for the perfect blending of the individual flavor components The wood gives the drink an amber-gold color and an earthy aroma typical of Old Hunter’s Rye The taste has a soft vanilla touch with fruity notes.”  Aside from establishing a reputation for whiskey excellence in the Czech Republic the brand has gained an impressive following abroad This year Palírna U Zeleného stromu won a gold medal for its premium Old Hunter’s Rye Bourbon Cask Reserve in the category of blend whisky at The Spirits Business World Whiskey Masters 2022 competition in London The event saw 124 distilleries from all over the world compete with an expert jury selecting 44 winners in several categories among them the premium Old Hunter’s Rye Bourbon Cask Reserve we entered only one candidate in the competition although we have more Old Hunter’s Rye brand whiskeys in our portfolio It is an even greater success that the Old Hunter’s Rye Bourbon Cask Reserve won a gold medal at its first international appearance," says Rajdl The export of its whiskey to the Indian market represents another international success for the company While Indians aren’t major consumers of alcohol – only about 27 percent of men and 1.6 percent of women out of a population of 1.32 billion consume spirits – the average alcohol consumption on the world’s largest subcontinent increased by a third since 2017 and the year-on-year increase is estimated to be 5 percent.  “India's spirits market is one of the fastest growing in the world, ranking 4th globally in terms of size, behind only China, the U.S., and Japan. Its value is USD 35 trillion," said Martina Ďásková, export manager at Palírna U Zeleného stromu The limited edition released to celebrate the brand’s 500th anniversary was christened by Jiří Bartoška ​​the president of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival Palírna U Zeleného stromu master blender Roman Petruš describes the whiskey as having a sweet aroma with hints of tobacco and oak but thanks to the long maturation in barrels it also has a strong woodiness Petruš said of the unique copper-colored edition Your morning coffee deserves a great companion.
