Course objectives
The course will focus on the filmmakers who between 1939-1989 left Czechoslovakia, and esp. on those who emigrated after 1968. In this period several generations met in exile. Besides those who had emigrated earlier (after the Munich Pact of 1938, as well as after the Communist coup d'état of 1948), the wave of emigration caused by the Soviet invasion of 1968 included the filmmakers of so called "Ur-wave" of the 1950s, the new wave of the 1960s, and also the young filmmakers who only made their independent debut in exile. Jana Boková, Otakar Votoček, Bernard Šafařík or Václav Reischl made their films in Western Europe, Miloš Forman, Ivan Passer or Vojtěch Jasný in North America. Literature: Voráč, Jiří (1998): Český film v exilu. Dissertation. Brno: Masaryk University. Assessment: written test.
