Blümel, Tomáš ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
(in English) This thesis deals with the Non-organized Resistance Movement against Nazi/Fascist Occupied Power during the Second World War in the Historical Film. I analyze selected Films reflecting the Resistance Movement in eight Western European countries (Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain), which were realized from the Second half of the 20th century to the present. In the main part, I show under what conditions the Film was created, and the different approaches of directors to this topic. For each Film I describe the story structure, the artistic quality or flaws, and the Interpretation of Historical Facts. Last but not least, I focuse on the question of what kind of response made the specific Film.

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...
