OTESANEK

As part of its summer film series “Unruly Frames and Fantastic

Visions,” the UC Irvine Film and Video Center presents “Otensanek.”

In this reinterpretation of a Czech fairytale, all that Bozena wants

is a baby, but she and Karel are plagued by infertility. Their

prayers seem to be miraculously answered when Karel carves a child

from a tree root, and Bozena’s intense maternal desire brings it to

life. Before long, their little miracle’s monstrous appetite

threatens to become all-consuming. The movie will begin at 7 p.m. in

the Humanities Instructional Building, Room 100, UC Irvine campus.

Information: (949) 824-6494.
