List of assignments - (one choice between the three/)
Theme 1: "His/her/their? story /documentary project/
Visual narrative about looking for one?s path, a road we usually call a "road of life?. Discovering such a road and then keep walking on it seems to be more important than anything else. Before we step on such a road we face various problems as for instance: drug culture, participation in extreme political movements, religious sects, etc. next to personal failures, suffering from mental disorders, unemployment, abuse in childhood, homelessness, will make such a search more problematic. Almost each person in my neighbourhood can tell a different story?It is also about children who were abandoned by their parents and what became of them in the course of life?
The creative outcome: 15-20 bw or color images of cca 24x30cm
Deadline: June 2010
Theme 2: "Elderly people? /documentary project/
It can be considered as subject of great importance.The number of elderly people is growing, at the same time they feel cut off from the real world around them?many of them stand up to become active /senior age universities etc./We see people who suffer from all kind of dementia/Alzheimer disease!/ and still they try to retain dissent life.There are people around them who are of great help. Trace down how old people around you live and make strong series of photographs
The creative outcome: 15-20 bw or colour pictures 24x30cm
Deadline: June 2010
Theme 3: "Consumerism as a lifestyle? /documentary project/
Western model of consumerism can be blamed as responsible for defeat of communist ideology and further fall of communism in Czech Republic. The mode of consuming that comes after as a leading factor in shaping people?s lifes today. Purchasing products, using many level services in huge shopping centres as Tesco, Kaufland, Ikea, etc.are leading them to spend more time there. For some people consumption is becoming an obsession with all side effects. It becomes a drug after all and must be medically cured. People buy things they do not need, spend money they did not earn. They also try to buy new identities on the market. Record on your film all possible manifestations of such lifestyle from your point of view.
The creative outcome: 15-20 bw or color images cca 24x30cm
