Animation on the Periphery
Hanáková, Veronika ; Czesany Dvořáková, Tereza (advisor) ; Kubíček, Jiří (referee)
The thesis attempts to precisely describe the production of animation in the context of the state- socialist mode of production. Through the question of "autonomy" for cartoons and puppets films in the era of Kamil Pixa (1969-1985), we will try to specify the position of animation within the re- centralized organization and dramaturgical section in the Short Film. In the context of the normalization period, animation had a different position and function compared to the feature films. Using the example of a studio in Čiklova Street, we outline a model of making a puppet film that was more like a "craft workshop" that retained its notional autonomy as long as it had its own space.

Film Education as a part of Basic Art Education
Forejt, Matěj ; Czesany Dvořáková, Tereza (advisor) ; Čeněk, David (referee)
Due to the presence of the optional Film/audiovisual education subject in the Framework Educational Programme for Basic Education and Secondary General Education, the interest in film and audiovisual education in the Czech Republic has been so far focused on primary schools and grammar schools. No attention has been paid to primary art schools, where filmmaking practices have been continuously expanding for many years, especially during art lessons. The primary aim of this thesis is to chart the issue, to examine the reality of primary art schools in detail, to uncover the motivation of teachers to teach the filmmaking and to observe potential connections between personal experience of a viewer and teaching. Considering the lack of secondary sources the author of this thesis approached the research using a sociological methodology. The three-step-research involved a quantitative study in a form of a questionnaire survey, an additional questionnaire with open-ended questions and personal interviews with selected respondents. The research sketched out the history and development of filmmaking in Czech primary art schools, the impulses leading the teachers to start with the filmmaking at school and the particular forms of such filmmaking. Also certain obstacles and limits of filmmaking and film and...

FAMU in 1989-1993
Žaloudková, Klára ; Klimeš, Ivan (advisor) ; Czesany Dvořáková, Tereza (referee)
Film and TV School (FAMU) is one of the three faculties of Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. The Academy educates its students in the field of cinema, television, digital media and communication. It was founded on the 28th November 1946. In my work I have focused on the period after the Velvet Revolution in 1989 to 1993 in which FAMU was seeking its own new identity and shape. I have decided to border this period by the year 1993 because of the changes in legislation. The new Act 273/1993 provided some new perspectives on production, distribution and archivation of audiovisual works which led into the cancellation of the state monopoly in this field. At first I have focused on the history of the faculty and the most important moments which led to changes. I have listed the professors of the most important creative departments so I was able to provide a more detailed analysis of the key topics. One of the most important parts of my thesis is FAMU during the years of the Velvet Revolution because it is the period that brought the biggest changes. I have followed in providing the analysis of the faculty after the transformation including the breakdown of the staff and the appraisal of the inner structure. My sources were film literature and film magazines and also my interviews with the contemporary...

Postwar purge of czech cinematography in 1945-1946.
Černá, Zuzana ; Klimeš, Ivan (advisor) ; Czesany Dvořáková, Tereza (referee)
This thesis concerns the process of Postwar purge, a purge which was being carried out by the Disciplinary Board of the Union of Czech film workers, in film industry after the Second World War. Even before establishing the Retribution Decrees, revolutionary denazification commissions came into being in many areas of public life. These commissions tried workers co-operating with invaders with absolutely no legal basis. The film industry, a kind of mass media which was on the front burner, also underwent this process under the supervision of a new cinematography leadership. The new leadership's aim was to nationalise the film branch. The aim of this thesis is to make clear who was tried by the commission and under what conditions, how the commission arbitrated and who were its members. Another goal is to imply how they influenced the next course of post-war Czechoslovak cinematography.

Černý, Martin ; Czesany Dvořáková, Tereza (advisor) ; Bauer, Šimon (referee)
(in English): This thesis deals, in frame of new film history, with the changes in Czech film distribution system connected to cinema digitalisation in the Czech Republic. Generally, the paper focuses on the influence the technological changes have on film distribution and its development in the Czech Republic. Considering the recent emergence of new genres and types of films, the work examines, on the example of documentaries, what effect these changes have on the variety of the Czech digital cinemas programme offer. The case study contained in the thesis explores a process of creating film programme in cinemas of average size Czech cities which do not have to compete with multiplexes. Selected programmers of these cinemas were interviewed in semi-structured interviews in terms of qualitative research, with the aim to determine the decisive factors influencing programming of documentary films in these cinemas. As seen from this thesis, the range of films in the distribution circuit has extended in two ways after the emergence of digitalisation and this development considerably affected the work of cinema programmers. Namely the wider availability of commercially successful films, generating great numbers in box office became a competition for the alternative films (documentaries included). Unlike...
