Production of Commissioned Foreign Films in the Czech republic post 1990
Zapletal, Robert ; Moravec, Petr (advisor) ; Dočekal, Radomír (referee) ; Vála, Luboš (referee)
Thanks to plentiful attractive locations, relative low costs, highly developed film infrastructure with rich technical background, and highly skilled film professionals, the Czech republic has become one of the most sought after locations for filming since 1989 for foreign producers, and it is intensively ever increasing.
The production of foreign films became one of the main engines that drove the film industry into motion in the Czech republic. The dynamically emerging market has led to an even deeper infrastructure, an improvement in the quality of services, and increased professionalism in the workforce. Thus also leading to the betterment and continuity of the industry, even over such hurdles as the establishment of democracy, the fall of government monopolies, and without any government incentives, domestic productions managed to survive.
The production of foreign films alone are a major economic supplier to the Czech republic, which is dictated by the volume of investor's monies, employment, taxes, and other associated contributors, even directly escalating to the marketing of the Czech republic in terms of tourism.
Currently there is growing pressure from other competing European countries, which are become increasingly aware of the advantages associated with domestic and foreign film production, and thus have intensified their support of this economic activity by improving the quality of the local film infrastructure and offering fiscal incentives.
Therefore it has become imperative to address these changing trends which have already had a negative impact on foreign production services in the Czech republic. A functional support structure for the film industry is needed in order to reverse these negative trends. The passing of a modern filmmaking law should back up this initiative.
The following work describes and analyzes the complexity of the production of commissioned foreign films in the Czech republic, from its historical progression to its current situation, all the way through to it's importance for the domestic film industry as well as the country alone.

The contemporary production of documentary film
Císařová, Markéta ; Oukropec, Petr (advisor) ; Vála, Luboš (referee)
I have started working on this topic because of my own interest. I wanted to know more about situation of documentary film industry in the Czech Republic,
The goal n.1 was to make a guide for young producers like me, who have the same question, how to make an author documentary film by own way of independent producer.
Thanks to all research, discussion with directors and producers, I have made an opinion which sounds optimistic.
Today we have really a lot of opportunities and just it depends on us where we will go.
At first there is a well working institute of documentary film in Prague, which makes a network with international markets and festivals. Also International documentary film festival in Jihlava is every year better and more professional and well known for its quality.
We can get many workshops and it offers important informations about worlds film festivals and markets through the Media programme.
From my point of view Czech television is a good source of financial support. Of course it is connected with many problems, but still it helps a lot. And last but not least there is a national fund of Czech Ministry of Culture which financially supports documentary film as well.
In conclusion I would like to say I am not worried about Czech documentary film. I can see just a challenge for producers looking for new talents, collaborating with IDF and helping directors who have good ideas and just dont know where and whom to offer their project.
