Pablo. G. del Amo - editing fragments
Toupalová, Kristýna ; Čihák, Martin (advisor) ; Trajkov, Ivo (referee)
The thesis is an imaginary film which adopts the structure of Carlos Saura?s movie Elisa, vida mía (Elisa, my life, Spain 1976). Main ?characters? are the editor Pablo G. del Amo, the directors Carlos Saura and Víctor Erice and the producer Elías Querejeta, all of whom have left a profound trace on the history of Spanish cinema in the second half of the 20th century. However, my film is confined to the period between 1965 and 1976, marking the beginning of their collaboration. They aimed to shoot authorial movies, to reach certain continuity of the work and to comment as much as possible on the political situation ? this was the period when General Franco?s regime was almost over. Another aim of Querejeta?s production was to draw out discerning viewers, i.e. to prove that such an audience already existed.
Elisa, my life, Saura?s most personal film, closes one period of work of all the ?characters?, and marks a certain turning point. Elisa leads my film through its work with space-time and motives to tell about the chosen period and films from certain points of view. Structuring my thesis on a film enables me to work with different kinds of materials: historical facts, contemporary press, film analyses and autobiographical information. This creates different mutually intertwining lines. The story of Pablo G. del Amo?s life is so essential for his decision to dedicate his entire life to cinema, that several sequences have been devoted to him. My film should provide the same reminiscent approach characteristic of the researched material. The theme of memory gives impulses to the characters to move in space and time, to their childhood, imagination and dreams. Memory ? personal as well as of the whole society ? is understood not only by means of remembering, but also of intentional forgetting.

The spirit of the beehive, amid history, movie and dream
Toupalová, Kristýna ; Čihák, Martin (advisor) ; Daňhel, Jan (referee)
Este texto trata de la película El espíritu de la colmena (Victor Erice, 1973) que se considera una de las mejores películas del cine espa?ol, pero, en la República Checa no es casi conocida, aquí ni existe literatura sobre ella, por lo tanto, este trabajo lleva traducciones de los textos interesantes escritos sobre ella en Espa?a. Consta de tres partes. La primera parte se ocupa detalladamente por los títulos de crédito de la película, describe su importancia para todo el relato fílmico. La segunda parte menciona los grandes cambios en el guión literal antes de empezar a rodar la película y su influencia a toda la película. La tercera parte (la más extensa) es el análisis formal y argumental de El Espíritu de la colmena. Describe el modo de trato de los personajes que conlleva el modo de trato de las relaciones espacio-temporales, describe cómo el ambiente de la postguerra está hecho de ausencias de los hechos históricos ? cómo se muestra la historia vista por un ni?o y al final cómo son las metáforas utilizadas. Uno de sus objetivos es investigar cómo se forma un mundo de una ni?a peque?a y cómo es posible que sea tan verosímil para el espectador.
