This course will focus on the history of the Czech / Czechoslovak film. It shall cover its entire path from the invention of cinema through the twentieth century until the current period. The trends of the Czech film will be put in context, not only with the world film production, but especially with the period´s social and cultural milieu.

The basic facts of the cinematographic production in the Czech lands will be examined, but will more closely focus only on the most important films and persons of it. The main focus will be given to screening of the extracts of the films as well as the whole pieces and discussion over it.

Special attention will be paid to a particular time of the Czech film - the New Wave of the 60s. Special lessons will be dedicated to particular film forms - animated film, documentary film and film for children.
