Tůmová, Barbora ; Hanzlík, Jan (advisor) ; Tyslová, Irena (referee)
This Bachelor thesis analyzes the phenomenon of art house cinema with a focus on its programming and financing. Its aim is to provide an overview of the historical and contemporary perceptions of art film, the emergence of art house cinema and the various possibilities of funding through public or private support. The practical part of this thesis submits detailed insights into the programming and financing of Svetozor, an art house cinema in Prague. The text demonstrates that the attraction towards art house cinema is not only due to the specific programming of art films and furthermore that the presentation of alternative culture does not necessarily require financial dependence on public funds.
