I would like to thank very much everyone who joined our online celebration of the Czech National Day in Canada live! It was a great honor to have with us Ms. Charlotta Kotik, the great-granddaughter of the first Czechoslovak President, Professor Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. The Crane family was represented by two great-granddaughters of Charles Crane, “Godfather of Czechoslovakia” and granddaughters of Frances Crane, who was married to President Masaryk's son Jan. Together with Diana Crane, her sister Frances Crane was with us as well. 

For those of you who couldn't be with us tonight, the beginning of our program featuring greetings by our very special guests Marcus Mucha, Diana Crane and Sasha Suda is available as a recording at https://youtu.be/40tQxAN0Zes 

Unfortunately, the film documentary "Mucha: The Story of an Artist who Created a Style", which we showed as the Canadian Premiere with the kind agreement of Punk Film s.r.o. (many thanks to Mr. Jakub Pinkava), is no longer available. You are able to watch it in the Czech Republic at https://aerovod.cz/katalog/svet-podle-muchy and outside the Czech Republic at https://vimeo.com/ondemand/mucha.  

Our recording features a trailer of the documentary film with the kind permission of Punk Film s.r.o.  

I greatly appreciate many kind words from our guests. You can find the transcript of the live chat during the online event in the comments section below the video.
