Mutual exchange of ideas and artistic experiences is valuable to the overall value of the course and will provide inspiration to students in their artistic endeavors both inside and outside of FAMU. When in doubt, students should ask questions or request clarification.

Course contents:

This course presents different aspects of recent development of Czech cinema with particular stress on analysis. Students will watch select films in their entirety (with English subtitles) as well as short clips highlighting the topics. Through practical and factual analysis of films students will encounter the different stylistic and creative developments that appear in post-1989 Czech cinema. The films will be discussed so as to determine a film?s possible themes and meanings.
