V originále

To make international film co-productions is always a “risky business” demanding an investment of trust from all of the involved partners. A plenty of agents with very divergent motivations needs to find a consensus. It is especially the complexity and inconsistency of the agents´ goals what make the state-socialist co-productions such a specific mode of practice: governmental bodies, communist party functionaries, heads of the state industry, private producers, chiefs of creative units, dramaturges, directors, distributors – all these agents followed their own interests, made pragmatic alliances, invested trust into partners, and risked their political or artistic careers, money, prestige, and sometimes even personal freedom, to implement a project. The talk will focus on examples of viable and successful partnership of a state-socialist film studio with producers from both sides of the Iron Curtain, and will contrast these cases of success, which were based on mutual trust, with opportunistic, short-lived partnerships. As case studies will be used, among others, Three Nuts for Cinderella, Pan Tau, or Firemen´s Ball. The examples should help us to understand what made the distinction between productive, future-oriented partnership, on one side, and opportunistic “game without iteration”, on the other side.
