The Coming Out Process of Queer Male Teenagers in Contemporary European Cinema
Hosenseidl, Radek ; BENDOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; VAJCHR, Marek (referee)
This thesis discusses the similarities in coming-out depictions in
contemporary European cinema focusing on teenage and coming-of-age queer
male characters. While based on understanding the coming out as a sociological
phenomenon with strereotypical development, it allows for deviations both in
reality and in film. The thesis further aims to identify common elements in films
with coming-out narratives: repetitive narrative techniques, themes, characters
and motives. Using the analyses of three films, the thesis also examines the
importance of coming-out stories in broader film narrative.

THE IMAGE OF DISSIDENT IN CZECH DOCUMENTARY FILM AFTER 1989
Kohout, Martin ; VACHEK, Karel (advisor) ; HENDRICH, Vladimír (referee)
The work is attempting to describe the mental image of a dissident, the way it was most oftenly interpreted in the post Velvet revolution period films known to the public or regularly shown on the televion screens. For this purpose was chosen 53 films, which were devided according to their general interpretation and impression. I followed with an analyzation of the montage and bulding elements, that are used in these films, most oftenly shaping the opinion of the general public. The interpretations and contents of these films were compared to the results of the social-sientific research on the nature of normalization period and the dissent. Also these generally popular films were compared with the works standing outside of the mainstream documentary film, about the topic of dissent or previous regime in general.
This theses is therefore refering to the problems of interpretation of the previous regime, normalization and the role of dissent in czech society.
