if…. is a 1968 cult film by British director Lindsay Anderson about an
armed rebellion at a British public school. The film is associated
with the 1960s counterculture movement; it was filmed at the time of
the student uprisings in Paris in May 1968, and it includes
controversial statements such as “There’s no such thing as a wrong
war. Violence and revolution are the only pure acts” and features
surrealist sequences throughout. On its release in the UK it was given
an X certificate. The film stars Malcolm McDowell as Mick Travis (a
character Anderson used in two sequels). Arthur Lowe, Peter Jeffrey,
Richard Warwick, David Wood, Christine Noonan, and Rupert Webster (as
the pretty young boy Bobby Phillips) also take starring roles. It won
the 1969 Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2004 the magazine
Total Film named it the sixteenth greatest British film of all time.

if…, as far to our knowledge, has never been screened in Czech
Republic before. This night will also include a series of short films
before the main feature including the winner of the 2007 Manhattan
Short FIlm Festival ’100th of a second’. Also showing will be a series
of SHORT FILMS and VIRAL VIDEOS.
