Jiřík, Kryštof ; Lovaš, Karol (advisor) ; Skalický, Matěj (referee)
In my practical bachelor's thesis, for which I have chosen the format of a radio documentary, I focus on the education program at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Charles University - the Summer and Winter School of Journalism. In the radio documentary, I delve into its history and current state, from its inception to the most recent event in the summer of 2023. Due to the format of the document, I have decided to primarily convey this topic through the examination of archival materials. In addition to tracing the development, I also aim to depict the atmosphere of the Summer and Winter School of Journalism during the specific time period. The length of the radio documentary is 26 minutes, 55 seconds. In the theoretical part, I will then explore the format of the radio documentary itself. I will analyze this format, its history and current state, its specific characteristics, who the notable Czech radio documentarists are, and how this genre is represented in our country. In the second part, I will focus on the specific tools and methods that I used in creating the radio documentary. Additionally, I will include the complete script of the entire documentary. The total number of pages in the theoretical section is 31, attachements included.

Speaking is silver, silence is golden? Environmentally aesthetic analysis of selected documentary films
Kubena, Martin ; Mašek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Řehořová, Irena (referee)
This master's thesis analyses and compares selected documentary films, "Samsara" and "Before the Flood" which differ mainly in the way of thematization and construction of nature. The analysis is done using the dominant environmental aesthetic concepts - aesthetic engagement and cognitive aesthetics. With the help of an in-depth semiotic analysis, it is examined how the motifs of nature are presented in these different genres of documentary film, what film techniques and techniques are used for this and how this selection influences the perception and evaluation of the depicted nature. What makes this work unique is the connection between film art and environmental aesthetics. Ultimately, understanding how certain genre-conventional films depict nature can contribute to a better understanding of people's relationship with nature. Analysis has shown that the depiction of the aesthetic value of nature is different in both documents, with "Samsara" presenting nature in accordance with the aesthetic engagement, while "Before the Flood" is rather indifferent to the set environmental aesthetic theories. All other findings are found in the Analytical part of the document. Keywords Film, documentary, aesthetics, appreciation, environment, nature, culture, art, sensitivity, knowledge, engagement, Samsara,...

Documentary Approaches in Contemporary Fine Art Moving Image
Bačíková, Alžběta ; PhDr. BcA. Andrea Slováková, Ph.D., MBA (referee) ; Pospiszyl, Tomáš (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
The Dissertation titled Documentary Approaches in Contemporary Fine Art Moving Image focuses on the practical and theoretical research of documentary approaches to videos and films in the art field. It notices especially the self-reflexive strategies as a consequence of critical approach towards the medium itself and lack of belief in its ability to mediate reality or truth. Attempts to convey reality by audiovisual means are accompanied by the reflection of the way this happens. The Dissertation also reflects on the uncertain relation between the documentary and truth, which has been described in art by the artist and theoretician Hito Steyerl. The examined artworks were made in the period between the beginning of 21st century, when the documentary turn was reflected intensively, and the present time. The selection of examples was strongly influenced by the local study of Israeli art in The Video Archive of the Center for Contemporary Art in Tel Aviv. Motives of conflict, violence and trauma resonating in studied videos and films influenced further selection and analysis of the authors’ documentary methods from a different context. In the selected works I can see particularly various forms of alienation effects and self-reflexive approaches. Using these procedures the artists highlight the constructedness of the audiovisual work and the way it was produced. Recurring formal principles have been stated. Reenactment of real events, revealing the way the work was produced or the artist’s position in the production process; these strategies indicate the uncertain relationship between the documentary work and reality. In the frame of these tendencies also reevaluation of the observational documentary strategies as something seemingly opposite to self-reflexive strategies is reviewed. Theoretical outcomes are continuously accompanied by author’s own art projects concentrated around the form of documentary portrait and its (de)construction. They experiment with the formal principles analyzed on a theoretical level.

Unbreakable Nightrunners
Tomanova, Karolina ; Šprincl, Petr (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
The video documentary Unbreakable Nightrunners deals with people around the artist, who documents what is happening in the group of which he is a part. The main actors live in the area and know each other from Elementary school. Half of the participants are still students and the other working individuals from different industries. Nightrunners are under 30 years old. Sometimes misunderstood by society and the surrounding area. The group of people she documents did not want to be like other people around. They didn't want to hang out and party. They have a common interest in cars and tuning. People with different views and styles, who always find a topic for conversation and space for joint activities have also a different philosophy of life, which could be summed up in the thesis that „life is a distinctive phenomenon that can not be reduced to mechanical events“. They help each other when something goes wrong, they are in good and bad times together. It documents all the events that the group creates, including ordinary meetings or interviews. It also reflects the fact that the group meets in one particular place and that is the gas station. The name Nightrunners is derived from a chat group on Facebook where they debate in various ways, agree on events, send funny videos and photos or spread new photos of cars and things they saw or were part of.
