Manifestation
Kulka, Jan ; DAŇHEL, Jan (advisor) ; ČIHÁK, Martin (referee)
This thesis is an attempt to formulate a personal manifesto of a film maker. An attempt to a reflection from a creative, technological, social and historical point of view. An attempt to find a personal answer to a fundamental ontological question: what is film? What is light? What is the nature of the relationship between film maker and the apparatus he uses. All that with a emphasis to practical application. Therefore one chapter is a case study of a special projection aparatus called Archeoscope which is both a result - embodiment - as well as an initiation of some of the thoughts mentioned above.

The face as an index
Helcel, Oskar ; DVOŘÁK, Tomáš (advisor) ; ŠIMŮNEK, Michal (referee)
The bachelor´s thesis Face as an index deals with the relationship between man and machine. It exam-ines this issue through the phenomenon of face recognition technology and its connections with the context of mass surveillance. In the first part, the author introduces the reader to the psychological and brain processes that are associated with facial recognition. Further, on concrete examples of neurosci-ence research associated with these processes, he shows a connection with the development of machine recognition of the face. . In the part about dealing with the historical connotations of the development of face recognition technology, the author discusses the key moments that lead to its implementation into practice. The issue of the database, the change of the technological principle and the relation between the private and the public sector in connection with the use of the above mentioned technology is examined by the author in the next chapter reflecting its state in the last few years. In the last part of the thesis, he reflects the relationship between man and machine through artistic projects focusing on the human face and the phenomenon of machine vision.

Way to Philosophy Using Drama Educational Methods
Kohout, Ondřej ; MARUŠÁK, Radek (advisor) ; VALENTA, Josef (referee)
The focus of the bachelor thesis is to offer a profound insight into the use of drama education as a form of teaching philosophy. Drama education has proven its usefulness in many school subjects. The advantage of drama education is that it connects a topic with a direct experience. Unfortunately, direct experience and its connection to real life is what is philosophy missing. The thesis shows different approaches to use of drama education in teaching of philosophy based on basic division of philosophical disciplines. It concerns drama education as a way to mediate philosophical text to students via preparation of a theatrical performance, but also drama education as a particular method to be used in class. The thesis includes also a report of a practical realization of a project focused on Socrates and Plato’s view on the relation of an individual and society.

Time and sound in cinema
Richtr, Jan ; KUDLÁČ, Jakub (advisor) ; REJHOLEC, Pavel (referee)
The theme of this diploma thesis is perception of time within the
audiovisual work. Particular attention is paid to the audio component of the
audiovisual work, from which perspective is seen the phenomenon of time. First
there is briefly introduced understanding of time evolved within the philosophical
context. The next part presents film as a medium that, from its formal nature,
brings new impetus that further develops the thinking of time. After this
introduction work focuses on the way of perceiving time within the sound itself,
respectively in music composition. It is based on the findings of psychoacoustics
and, above all, on the theoretical considerations of French composer Gérard
Grisey, to which is trying to find parallels in the context of the sound dramaturgy
of the film work. The last part deals with time relations arising from the
relationship between film image and sound. It is trying to question and then
generalize specific formal relationships within the audiovisual work, influencing
the subjective perception of time.

Composition and decomposition as an contemporary art strategy
Zakharova, Iryna ; JANOŠČÍK, Václav (advisor) ; LEDVINA, Josef (referee)
Our changing relationships to things and materials forces us to seek new strategies and patterns to create "artistic situations," the meaning of which is reversible, non-fixed. Each situation can be decomposed and no one thing is more important than another. This unfettered process of thinking about things offers more liberated forms without finding any particular higher importance, or truth. Just as speculative realists were not uplifting the knowledge of the individual about things, the thing by itself circulates and operates without our participation. This idea of anther unknown reality, in which everything is fundamentally different and where things are circulating without us, brings more open ways to compose and decompose things in artistic practice. Because one does not have to react to things as they are, but only to things as they appear. Perhaps what makes an artistic gesture so powerful is not the gesture itself but the moment before the gesture or between the gestures. These spaces between the gestures allow the viewer to reflect on what is being seen and experienced.

Slib a jeho etika
Põhjala, Priit ; PETŘÍČEK, Miroslav (advisor) ; BERGAN, Ronald (referee)
Zvolil jsem si téma etiky ve filmu Slib (1996) tvůrců Jeana-Pierra Dardennea a Luca Dardennea jakožto příkladovou studii užití filozofie, v tomto případě filozofie francouzského filozofa Emmanuela Levinase (1906–1995), a jak jeho filozofie ovlivňuje všechny aspekty vyprávění. Ačkoliv se nejedná o jedinou možnou interpretaci jejich díla, myšlenky Levinase jsou nejvíce relevantní jak pro příběh, tak i pro vyšší intelektuální cíle filmu. Zde je jeho pojem etiky jádrem postav a vyprávění až do bodu, kde se film sám o sobě stává testem pro přijatelnost Levinasovy filozofie, jako myšlenkového experimentu ve filmové podobě. Přijatelnost Levinasovy filozofie zůstává na konci filmu neprokázána. I přes filozofické a vyprávěcí nedostatky je Slib dobrým příkladem užití filozofie ve filmu, v jehož lepších částech se ukazuje síla tohoto přístupu, nicméně v horších částech můžeme vidět nebezpečí, které z tohoto přístupu vychází. V následujících filmech je zřejmé, že se bratři Dardenneové poučili ze svých chyb.
