Through the eyes of ex-Yugoslav FAMU student and film director: Experience of film culture in Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia during the period of socialist dictatorship
Vuksan, Martina ; Wohlmuth, Petr (advisor) ; Houda, Přemysl (referee)
This thesis is a contribution to the study of the Czechoslovak and Yugoslav film culture during the socialist dictatorship of the 1960s and 1970s as told by an oral source who experienced this culture in both socialist countries. The main aim is to comparatively approach this topic and find answers that can only be provided through oral history. My attempt is to depict similarities and differences between the two nations' film cultures, discover a Czechoslovak-Yugoslav bond that either held or detached the nations together, and provide a subjective approach to the socio-cultural circumstances that created the basics for the film culture's rise and fall under the socialist dictatorship. Therefore, a special attention is given to historical subjectivity and its relation to memory and culture. Keywords: Socialist Film, New Wave, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, FAMU, Oral History, Historical Subjectivity

Patterns of Czech Film-dramturgical Poetics
Csicsely, Lukáš ; Svatoňová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Klimeš, Ivan (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on Czech academic film dramaturgy. Dramaturgy in this sense refers to the activity of the dramaturge in the creation of a film work of art. His performance is theoretically grounded upon a long tradition beginning with Aristotle's Poetics, generally called poetics, and this thesis consists of a comparison of such film poetics published at FAMU, within the department of scriptwriting and dramaturgy, examined through the perspective of Prague structuralism, and with the mentioned traditions on background. No other theoretical work has dealt with this material so far, so my aim is to map the basic problems of this closed field, with an emphasis on how the tradition is adapted to the specific requirements of film.

The goal is to find answers to questions about how much the Czechoslovak cinema was influenced by the Soviet Union, than if nationalization of cinematography had only negative or even some positive consequences, whether the emergence of a new wave was just an accidental phenomenon or if it was the inevitable answer to the former policy and whether it could be possible to the new wave arise in today's conditions.
