Matušková, Magdaléna ; Opatrný, Josef (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Pavel (referee) ; Skřivan, Aleš (referee)
The study analyzes the largely understudied cinematic cooperation between Czechoslovakia and Cuba in the first decade following the Cuban Revolution. It is based mostly on archival documents from the former Central Directorship of Czechoslovak State Film, the ministry of education and culture and the ministry of foreign affairs. Several chapters also draw from oral history, data collected from series of interviews with Cuban technicians and artists who have worked in Cuban cinema since the 1960s as well as Czechoslovak experts who worked at the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Arts and Industries in the 1960s. The Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (CICAI), founded in March 1959 shortly after the triumph of the Revolution, faced a shortage of human and material resources since its inception. The film industry, which had been mostly in the hands of the Americans before 1959, lost much personnel due to mass emigration. Later on, due to the American blockade and embargo, it also lost its most important provider of films, material and equipment. The majority of CICAI's technician and artists were just starting and were lacking in technical knowledge required to make films. Czechoslovak State Film (CSF) offered extensive help to Cuban cinema, especially in the area of developing the...

Bachelor thesis The Documentary Cycle of Czech Television - The Czech Journal focuses on the first three series of this cycle (premiere between 2013 and 2015). Fifteen documentary films (Život a smrt v Tanvaldu, Rozezlení, Pančovaná republika, Spřízněni přímou volbou, Svobodu pro Smetanu, Dělníci bulváru, Gadžo, Zločin pana Chytila, Já, horník!, Obnažený národ, Pět zrození, Matrix AB, Ubytovny, Blízký daleký východ a Má vlast Afghánistán) are analyzed in terms of qualitative, quantitative, form and genre. In particular, exploring the genres of individual films is crucial for the work. The starting point for exploration is the genre fluctuations of the Czech Journal between the television journalistic reportage and the documentary film. The three chapters of the bachelor's thesis evaluate this topic first from a terminological point of view, then from a formal and ultimately analytical one. The methods used for the chosen examination are represented by quantitative content analysis of the films (list of identifying features, etc.), but especially by qualitative analysis. For the purpose of qualitative research in this work, fourteen interviews with the authors of the Czech Journal were created. The film analysis also represents a qualitative element of this thesis.

(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.

Don't Leave Me: Narratological Film Analysis
Horyna, Martin ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Čeněk, David (referee)
The aim of Don't Leave Me: Narratological Film Analysis thesis is to determine through analysis of the aforementioned film the techniques of documentary filmmakers being used to lead the viewer to discover a coherent plot structure in the content, and to ascertain whether DON'T LEAVE ME systematically uses some methods of the classical film. Texts of Bill Nichols were used to describe the rhetorical strategies of documentary films. The selected theoretical basis of the narrative analysis itself is neoformalism (David Bordwell, Kristin Thompson, Barry Salt) and cognitive narratology (Edward Branigan), which served to define documentary films with a high degree of narration. The study of motivations and development, time and space in the film was employed in order to describe narrative strategies chosen by the filmmakers. The analysis has proved that DON'T LEAVE ME structures the protagonists' action and speech as a story. Furthermore, it was shown that the analysed film can be classified as a documentary film with a high degree of narration and that it systematically utilizes numerous methods of the classical film. The contribution of this thesis is to demonstrate a specific manner of analysing the narration of (highly) narrative documentary films through narratological means; it is thus possible to...
