Milos Forman

Milos Forman (Director/Screenwriter), two-time Academy Award winner as Best Director for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Amadeus, has managed his career to combine and assimilate the best of European and American filmmaking traditions.
The youngest of three sons, Forman was born in Caslav, Czechoslovakia, a town 45 miles away from Prague. At the age of nine, his parents were arrested by the Gestapo and later perished in the Nazi death camps. The cinema was always a big point of interest and Forman enrolled in the University of Prague’s Film Institute. In 1963, he directed his first feature, Black Peter. The film was a success in various films festivals, including Cannes, Montreal and New York, and led to Forman’s first visit to America. His next two films, Loves of a Blonde (1965) and Fireman’s Ball (1967) brought the director further international acclaim.
The films One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Amadeus, winners of five and eight Academy Awards respectively, are some of Forman’s most successful work.
