Slovak propagandistic movies of the fifties
Novajovská, Michaela ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
The aim of this work is to highlight the films that were released in the 1950s and received the nickname propagandistic films, when all films were based on the doctrine of the socialist regime. During this period, twenty-nine feature films were released in Slovakia, and three will be examined in more detail in this work: Priehrada, Pole neorané, and Drevená dedina. Each is from a different well-known director active during these years. The theoretical part focuses exclusively on propaganda itself and its purpose in the film. The goal of this section is to identify specific propaganda elements in films in Slovakia. It aims to introduce the work of directors working during that period and their works released under the auspices of the Soviet Union. The aim of the practical part of the bachelor thesis is to use film analysis to identify these elements directly in selected films, to highlight the required norms in specific film scenes, and to analyse the characteristic features of construction films.

The story of Josef Hasil in the miniseries The King of Šumava The Phantom of the Dark Land and its media response
Fortuníková, Jana ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the anti-myth and myth of Josef Hasil, a smuggler from the Šumava region and the most famous bearer of the nickname "King of Šumava". The thesis reflects his image before 1989, which was fundamentally influenced by the famous propaganda film Smugglers of Death (Král Šumavy) from 1959. After the Velvet Revolution, the purification of Hasil's reputation was attempted when his life was being reinterpreted based on facts. His dramatic fate has also been featured in post communist popular culture titles. The most successful representative could be classified as a biographical novel about Josef Hasil called Návrat Krále Šumavy from 2012. The novel inspired narration of three-part miniseries King of Šumava: Phantom of the Dark Region (Král Šumavy: Fantom temného kraje) (2022) produced by a commercial TV station and distributed on its VOD platform Voyo. Both projects present their effort to straighten out the fates of Hasil's life, yet there is admitted fabrication in the story. However, an analysis of the texts of both works shows that the revision of historical reality is not neutral and corresponds to the post communist discourse on the perception of heroes of the third resistance, which can lead to their exclusive glorification and the suppression of discussion about the...

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,...

Zombie as a Metaphor of Human Society
PÝCHOVÁ, Nela
The bachelor thesis deals with the interpretation of the undead or zombie in popular culture. It examines the features with the help of which their specificity is constructed (even compared to the characters of vampires or artificial beings) and the meanings that zombies generate in specific works. It traces how and how much zombies reflect the state of society (in the sense of the circulation of social energy and related themes) and how do these zombie metaphors change over time. The thesis focuses mainly on film production, but also addresses the question of how these representations differ in different media. The primary sources are the works of popular culture themselves and the main method of interpretation is their interpretative comparison placed in the context of the time the works were created and the socio-cultural setting that can be observed at that time.
