Distribution of audiovisual works in the digital era.
Pinkava, Jakub ; Havas, David (advisor) ; DANIELIS, Aleš (referee)
Comparing two, on the first look very different storytelling methods, might seem inappropriate. But everyone who saw a film based on a book or the other way around, doesn't have any problem with comparing these two against each other, pointing out strengths and weaknesses of each interpretation of the same story. In this paper I am focusing on comparison of distribution and development possibilities of film and computer game industries. Even though film professionals are trying to be innovative, game professionals are step ahead in the area of digital distribution, mainly if we target independent film or game distribution. The same applies to crowdfunding campaigns, which are in fact a possible beginning of distribution. In the end, it's always the producer who should develop and use a specific type of funding and distribution type for his audio-visual works.

Bright Tomorrows?
Tydlitátová, Anna ; Forejt, Jiří (advisor) ; Havas, David (referee)
The thesis deals with the transformation of Ponrepo Cinema, a former viewing room in Prague, which had been recently converted into a modern public-service cinematheque of the Czech National Film Archive (NFA). This transformation process runs on the background of the structural, legislative, financial and HR changes, implemented in the NFA in the last years. The work thus refers to the metamorphosis of the whole institution. I am focusing on the period after 2012, when PhDr. Michal Bregant was appointed the current CEO. I am describing namely the changes done in the sector of services and HR, which in turn influenced the very content and form of the activities offered by the cinema. I further emphasize my interest in the public relations and the communication strategies of Ponrepo Cinema toward its audiences, and finally indicate the possible next course of this cultural institution.
