Right now is now!
Abramjan, Andran ; GOGOLA, Jan (advisor) ; VACHEK, Karel (referee)
The thesis deals with the use of absurdity in documentary cinema and its role in our understanding of the world. It defines the absurdity as an illusion of nonsense (or sense) which arises from removing various phenomena from their usual contexts and putting them together while forming a new, unusual context. These new contexts may not be entirely random and often have a specific function in a number of artistic works. By dissolving the illusion of the non/sense we can acquire a deeper insight into certain matters. But even if the illusion remains, the absurdity itself stimulates our imagination by questioning our patterns of perceiving the world. The author discusses various cases of absurdity that arise from ideologies, inventions, encounters of remote paradigms or contradictory information in the human mind and their use in documentary films, including his own works.

Travel Documentary and Travel Show
Potočný, Tomáš ; KUBICA, Petr (advisor) ; GOGOLA, Jan (referee)
This master thesis deals with travel documentaries. It presents the genre's basic definitions and briefly describes its history from the beginning of cinematography up to now, with a special focus on current Czech and foreign TV series. Filming and post-production dramaturgical rules and production limits are described in the case study of television series Na cestě, and their resulting impact on the show's traits is analyzed. The outcomes of television rating and viewer satisfaction measurements are also dealt with; moreover, based on the available data, a viewer profile is outlined, attempting to deduce what his visions and expectations are. As a contrast with TV production, the paper includes two creative documentaries, which characteristics also fit the travel genre: Notebook from China, by Danish director Jorgen Leth, and Šimon Špidla's Into Oblivion. The study compares their style and ways of narration, draws a comparison with series' features, and aims to answer whether or not the conditions of TV series production enable creative travel filmmaking.

Autismus in film / Out is mus in documentary film
Wagner, Jakub ; VACHEK, Karel (advisor) ; GOGOLA, Jan (referee)
OUT - IS - TIC FILM
Emerging documentary underground in the Czech Republic
Standard is NOT TO SHOOT!
The diplom thesis as a manifest - as a way to free artistic expression.
As the author of the thesis, I come out of both practical and theoretical experience. I also use the knowledge of (not only) documentary film while studying it and living it in its many forms in everyday life.
I am trying to indicate and name contemporary problems of filming, financing and finding employment of a documentary filmmaker in the context of the system and society.
The goal of my work is to emphasize the importance of free artistic expression in contemporary documentary film that has come close to mainstream. I would like
to describe new borders between commercial production and independen cinema,
i.e. underground. Artists, whose work is more close to poetry, visual arts, videoarts or experimental films, and who perceive artistic and social values in a different perspective, have great trouble to realize any of their ideas and scripts. This is mainly because of complex structure of (financial) power acroos the TV stations and funds.
Documentary film has become a very impressive and desired product.
Artists not willing to accommodate with commercial, voguish and "art" trends are pushing out of the instituions where all the directors able to adapt themselves in the system and society are easily accepted. I refer to the first ones (inculding myself) as to the outistic and I also refer to their films as to the outistic ones. Using them , I would like to demonstrate my attitude to the situation. Out means: stand out of something, to be outside, to be switched off.
I understand the term "outistic film" as a contemporary name and authorial term for an independent documentary film with its roots in the Czech documentary environment. The expression "outism" originated as an anagram to the word "autism".
in the latter part of my paper, I focus on the phenomenon of the female documentary filmmmakers who studied at FAMU in the past ten years. Their attitude ti the filmmaking is unusualy natural, unique and outistis. At the same time, it is standard for them not to shoot!
Key words:
Out-, be far from, be switched off, be at stake, be out of game, underground, poetry, money, to have a lot of money, image, TV station, cars, vision, power.

And it examines the decisive moments essential for the recipient?s acceptance, believe and evaluation of the film.
