The SFI’s digitisation workplace has become a permanent part of its professional workplaces. Film.sk, the only printed film monthly in Slovakia, has been published by the SFI since 2000. During the 21 years of its existence, it has undergone other format and conceptual changes, but the goals remain to provide a wide range of information and opinions from the domestic audio- visual environment, capable of appealing to film experts and the wider public alike.

  • 1 Professor Martin Votruba
    Professor Martin Votruba (1948-2018) Michael J. Kopanic, Jr. It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of an outstanding teacher, a dear friend and an esteemed colleague, Professor Martin Votruba. He served as the Head of Slovak Studies Program and was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh (Slavic Department, Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences). Many considered him to be the country's leading scholar on Slovak culture. Martin died on November 23, 2018 after a short bout with lung cancer, even though he never smoked. Votruba's passing was a shock to the academic and Slovak-American community. As his long-time secretary and friend Chris Metil related, "Martin was an invaluable member of the department, a teacher, scholar, and friend. He is greatly missed. He was the rock that built the Slovak program", the only one of its kind in the United States. He assisted in sending many of his students to study Slovak at Studia Academica Slovaca, the Slovak language summer school at Comenius University in Bratislava. The University of Pittsburgh is the only university in the United States that offers a Slovak studies minor. His death was surprising, since as recently as November 4, he had just presented his informative lecture at the University of Pittsburgh's Annual Slovak Heritage Festival: "Slovaks Facing the Revolts of 1848: Between Imperial Vienna and Combative Budapest." Votruba had looked thinner and more frail than the last time I saw him, but he delivered a superb presentation, and as usual, interacted well with the audience and addressed questions with enthusiasm and his breadth of knowledge.

  • CZECH CINEMA: NEW WAVE and BEYOND Coordinators: Robert
    CZECH CINEMA: NEW WAVE AND BEYOND Coordinators: Robert Gerace and Eva Vogel We survey films from the Czech cinema after WW II, beginning with the German and Soviet Occupations, continuing with the Czech New Wave and the Prague Spring of the 1960’s, and ending with more contemporary films of the modern era. Our materials on Czech and Slovak history and culture provide a framework and context for critical evaluation. We ask which policies and attitudes of the prevailing Soviet and German authorities are satirized in these films? How do the directors attempt to bypass strict censorship of this veiled government criticism? We come to understand the importance of the Czech film industry and how it reflected the historic struggles and aspirations of the citizens of Bohemia and Slovakia. Readings and other Required Materials: Subscription to Netflix is required. Class handouts and Web references will be provided. They include film reviews, director biographies and articles on Czech and Slovak history and culture. Robert has coordinated study groups on Greenwich Village Writers, Italian Neo Realism, and French New Wave Cinema. Eva is an enthusiast of Czech and Slovak films that reflect her family’s experience of the WWII German occupation and her own life during the Soviet occupations after 1968. * * * * * * * * Syllabus * * * * * * * * After viewing the films at home we consider assigned questions about theme, character development, cinematography and director’s style. We evaluate our answers as we view and discuss film clips of the highlights shown in class. Students are encouraged to submit their own questions for class discussion. Assigned background readings include: "Prague Spring: Russian tanks in the streets and a New Wave in the cinema," Peter Hames, The Manchester Guardian, 1999.

When a panicked Benedictine nun appears at the clinic begging Mathilde to follow her back to the convent, what she finds there is shocking: a holy sister about to give birth and several more in advanced stages of pregnancy. A non-believer, Mathilde enters the sisters’ fiercely private world, dictated by the rituals of their order and the strict Rev. Mother (Agata Kulesza, Ida). Fearing the shame of exposure, the hostility of the occupying Soviet troops and local Polish communists and while facing an unprecedented crisis of faith, the nuns increasingly turn to Mathilde as their beliefs and traditions clash with harsh realities.
