Spanning his 20-year career, this program focuses on Trnka’s early work, including the anti-Nazi satire Springman and the SS (1946), the dystopian space-age tale Cybernetic Grandma (1962), and Trnka’s masterpiece, The Hand (1965). Visit wexarts.org for a complete lineup closer to the screening. (100 mins., DCP)
