1412 - 1415: Master John Hus denounces the vice plaguing the Church in his homilies in the Bethlehem Chapel. The Pope issues an interdict against Hus and requests him to defend his teaching at the Council of Constance. Yet he fails to persuade King Sigismund and is burned at the stake for heresy on July 6, 1415. Jan Hus is the first part of the Hussite trilogy, an epic film project that was strongly influenced by the ideologization of history of that time. The other parts of the trilogy are Jan Zizka and Against All. (Febiofest)
