Among the small number of Czech directors in competition at the Karlovy Vary festival, which gets underway next weekend, will be documentarian Martin Du\u0161ek, with his latest work Into the Clouds We Gaze. The witty filmmaker, who comes from the North Bohemian town of \u010cesk\xe1 L\xedpa, suggests as the starting point for our tour of \u201chis Prague\u201d the place where he works. One of the city\u2019s most distinctive Functionalist structures, it\u2019s a large building by Vltavsk\xe1 metro station owned by developer Orco and currently home to rather rough and ready office spaces.
