Fioretta

Fioretta Sunday, April 28 at 5 pm KINO ART, Brno, Cihlářská 19 Fioretta - the first and only screening of the successful film in the Czech Republic with the personal participation of the protagonist Randy Schoenberg Since its creation in 2023, the documentary Fioretta has been screened at festivals in Los Angeles, Zurich, Woodstock, Cincinnati and the ANU Museum in Tel Aviv... but it has not yet been screened in the Czech Republic, even though it is partly set here. In it, American director Matthew Mishory presents a piece of history seen through the lens of the family story of Randol "Randy" Schoenberg, who is the grandson of Austrian-American classical composer Arnold Schoenberg, but has also been obsessed with genealogy since childhood. In this cinematic travelogue, Randy and his son Joey crisscross Prague, Vienna and Venice, gradually uncovering fascinating details of his family's Jewish past. In the age of the Internet and easily accessible virtual worlds, Fioretta celebrates real experiences, including the discovery of old texts, the browsing of centuries-old burial sites, or the joy of sharing a communal plaque with newly discovered relatives.
