About event
We invite you to a special screening of the documentary film Olympic Interval, which will take place on May 18 from 8:00 p.m. as part of the accompanying program of the Open House Prague festival (May 18–24, 2026). ⛹️
The evening will start with a discussion with the director of the film Haruna Honcoop (in Czech) and will be followed by a screening of the film with English subtitles. Admission is free! 🇬🇧💸
📍The event takes place in the western stand of the Strahov Stadium, which is covered. We recommend that you adapt your clothes to the current weather (ideally layering) - it is usually windy and colder in the stands. For more comfort when sitting, you will surely appreciate a blanket or an insulating cushion.
OLYMPIC INTERMEDIATE (Haruna Honcoop, 2023, Czech Republic)
The documentary film by Czech-Japanese filmmaker Haruna Honcoop focuses on three world capitals – Paris, Tokyo and Beijing, which have repeatedly hosted or are to host the Olympic Games in recent years. In the film, we observe how the "Olympics" negatively affect these cities, which are known for their size, population density and tourism. By following urban changes, including interest in the origin and fate of the so-called "white elephants", the film shows how problematic the most prestigious sporting event of modern times is for these territorial areas from an ecological, humanistic and economic point of view. What are cities willing to sacrifice for their double-edged privilege?

OLYMPIC HALFTIME (Haruna Honcoop, 2023, Czechia)
The documentary film by Czech-Japanese filmmaker Haruna Honcoop focuses on three world metropolises – Paris, Tokyo, and Beijing, which have recently hosted or are scheduled to host the Olympic Games. The film explores how these cities, known for their size, population density, and tourism, are negatively impacted by the Olympics. By tracking urban transformations, including the creation and fate of so-called "white elephants," the film illustrates the extent to which the most prestigious sporting event of modern times poses challenges from ecological, humanistic, and economic perspectives for these urban areas. What are cities willing to sacrifice for their double-edged privilege?
