Description

"The work contains sixteen uncensored interviews with filmmakers such as Jan Němec, Jiří Menzel, Saša Gedeon, and Jan Svěrák, who describe the struggle to realize their visions in a constantly shifting political landscape: from the mid-1960s, through the repressive "Normalization" after the Soviet occupation in 1968 (more films were banned in 1970 than during the previous twenty years of Communism), and after the Velvet Revolution of 1989. "These artists reveal their search for individual and national identity, describe living and making films in the Czech Republic now and in the past, explore the influence of foreign films, and speculate on the future of film. Each interview includes a short biography, filmography, and list of awards."--Jacket.
