(11333) Forman Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 20 April 1996 by Pravec, P., Sarounova, L. at Ondrejov.
Early films of director Miloš Forman (b. 1932), such as Černý Petr (Black Peter) and Hoří, má panenko (Firemen's Ball), show deep insight into the lives of ordinary Czech people. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Hair and Ragtime deal with human freedom, while Amadeus describes Mozart's fight with mediocrity.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #15, 5), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
