Subject guarantor:

Name of lecturer(s):

Learning outcomes of the course unit:

The course aim is to evoke an active interest in issues of animated film, introduce its history, important figures and the newest artistic trends.

Mode of study:

Lectures with screenings.

Prerequisites and co-requisites:

General knowledge of Czech and world animated film history.

Recommended optional programme components:

None

Course contents:

An expectation for completion of this course is regular attendance at lectures because there will be no chance to present material again and the inter-dependence of the topics are quite fixed. Both courses are completed with written and oral examinations by which the instructor will classify the students. For effectiveness in the course are texts of Minimum z dějin české animace („Minimum from the history of Czech Animation“) and God-willing, by the end of the semester there will be, as well, Minimum z dějin světové animace („Minimum from the History of International Animation“), with which the students can fill in the 'white areas', which may arise from rare absences at lectures.
