The History of Czech Cinema 2

Tutor:

Ivan KLIMEŠ

Synopsis:

A two-semester lecture course for third-year FAMU students combined with first-year students in film studies in the Department of Film Studies at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University. The lectures will cover the period from the origin of cinema up to 1960 and will provide students with a general but complex overview of the history of the development of cinema in the Czech lands and Slovakia. The course will look at the processes of the field's professionalisation and its gradual aesthetic maturity (especially in the sphere of narrative film), will examine the social function of Czech film at individual periods in history and the context between film and literature and film and theatre and or the relationship between film and traditional artistic fields in general, and will also focus on the changing status of cinema in the economic and political life of the first and second republics, during Nazi occupation, and after the nationalisation of the industry in 1945. This is a three-hour lecture followed by a screening of at least one feature-length film.
