Surrealism in and out of the Czechoslovak New Wave
Introduction Surrealism In and Out of the Czechoslovak New Wave Figure I.1 A poet’s execution. A Case for the Young Hangman (Případ pro začínajícího kata, Pavel Juráček, 1969) ©Ateliéry Bonton Zlín, reproduced by courtesy of Bonton Film. 2 | Avant-Garde to New Wave The abrupt, rebellious flowering of cinematic accomplishment in the Czechoslovakia of the 1960s was described at the time as the ‘Czech film miracle’. If the term ‘miracle’ referred here to the very existence of that audacious new cinema, it could perhaps also be applied to much of its content: the miraculous and marvellous are integral to the revelations of Surrealism, a movement that claimed the attention of numerous 1960s filmmakers. As we shall see, Surrealism was by no means the only avant-garde tradition to make a significant impact on this cinema. But it did have the most pervasive influence. This is hardly surprising, as Surrealism has been the dominant mode of the Czech avant-garde during the twentieth century, even if at certain periods that avant-garde has not explicitly identified its work as Surrealist. Moreover, the very environment of the Czech capital of Prague has sometimes been considered one in which Surrealism was virtually predestined to take root. The official founder of the Surrealist movement, André Breton, lent his imprimatur to the founding of a Czech Surrealist group when he remarked on the sublimely conducive locality of the capital, which Breton describes as ‘one of those cities that electively pin down poetic thought’ and ‘the magic capital of old Europe’.1 Indeed, it would seem a given that Czech cinema should evince a strong Surrealist tendency, especially when we consider the Surrealists’ own long-standing passion for this most oneiric of art forms. -

Also in this brochure, you will find brief information about Slovakia as a filming location or co-production partner, general statistical data and a description of the system and amounts of state sup- ‹ port. We believe it will serve as a helpful guide for producers looking for partners in Slovakia, for buyers of TV shows, and programmers of film festivals and showcases. Leafing through the publication, you will find that after significant growth of production in 2008 and 2009, the year 2010 is marked by ma- jor decrease. This is due to the fact that the last applications for support from the Grant System of the Slovak Ministry of Culture were submitted in winter 2008 and the first grants from the newly founded Audiovisual Fund, which is expected to double the volume of funds for the support of audiovisual production, will be distributed to applicants only in the second quarter of 2010. -

Czech Surrealism and Czech New Wave Realism
Czech Surrealism and Czech New Wave Realism By Alison Frank Fall 2011 Issue of KINEMA CZECH SURREALISM AND CZECH NEW WAVE REALISM: THE IMPORTANCE OF OBJECTS Abstract This article examines a major difference between French and Czech Surrealism as exemplified by their attitudes to film. It engages in a close analysis of three films by documentary-influenced Czech New Wavedirectors whom the Prague Surrealist group admired: Miloš Forman, Ivan Passer and Jan Němec. The analysis focuses on the way in which objects in these films can take on multiple meanings depending on their context. It concludes that such objects suggest a broadening of possibilities in everyday life and in this respect correspond to both Surrealist goals and to the experience of living in a society in the process of political liberalization. The Paris Surrealist group’s favourite Czech New Wave film was Věra Chytilová’s highly experimental Sed- mikrásky (Daisies, 1966); the Prague group, by contrast, preferred the documentary-style approach of Miloš Forman and Ivan Passer (Král 2002: 9). The Prague Surrealists also extended their praise to the somewhat less realistic films of Jan Němec, but only insofar as their’onirisme inclut […] un sens des réalités crus/their oneirism included […] a sense of raw reality’ (Král 2002: 9). This difference of opinion between the Paris and Prague Surrealist groups points to a more profound divergence in their cultural and historical origins. In this article I will begin by exploring this divergence and go on to explain how it influenced the Prague group’s attitude to cinema. I will then examine one film by each of the three directors that the Prague group singled out for praise: Miloš Forman’s Lásky jedné plavovlásky (Loves of a Blonde, 1965), Ivan Passer’s Intimní osvětlení (Intimate Lighting, 1965) and Jan Němec’s O slavnosti a hostech (The Party and the Guests, 1966). -

Nastanak omnibusa Zbirka pripovijedaka Bohumila Hrabala Perlička na dně1 nastala je 1963. godine. Sljedeće godine izlazi i zbirka Pábitelé2. Obje zbirke u središte pripovijedanja stavljaju „običnog“ čovjeka u kojemu autor vidi unutrašnju ljepotu koja se često krije iza grube i nepristupačne vanjštine. Nesvakidašnji likovi poput Ciganke, skupljača papira ili gostioničara odudaraju od društvenih stereotipa, oni često u svom okruženju bivaju ismijavani, ali istodobno su u svom svijetu slobodni od predrasuda, društvenih normi i zakona materijalizma. Jedna od glavnih značajki Hrabalove poetike unutar tih zbirki je tragikomičnost, a teške životne sudbine njegovih junaka protkane su humorom i ni na koji način nisu patetične. U svojim se djelima Hrabal često inspirira drugim umjetnostima, pogotovo filmom pa se tako priče i junaci o kojima pripovijeda često mogu usporediti s grotesknim skečevima poput onih u filmovima Charlesa Chaplina. Film Perličky na dně nastao je 1965. -
