In 1968, upon arrival of the Warsaw Pact troops, he shot in Prague a number of documentary shots. In January, 1969 he documented the burial of Jan Palach. His last feature-film was Spalovač mrtvol in which wife, Vlasta Chramostova acted. Later in Israel he shot his final film in official production - Everyone turned away for East German Television with director Thomas Fantl.

After Normalization he was let go from Barrandov and was not allow to shoot films. He earned money with his wife making table lamps, distributed to friends. He signed Charter 77, and also helped organize home theatres, some of which he recorded.
