Kamila Zlatušková: The Search for (Czech) Television
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: April 14, 2016, 19:00 – 21:00
Evening with producer Kamila Zlatušková who, with her team, will present the history of documentary films (Into the Clouds We Gaze, Goat, Steam on the River) and series (Ex-premieres, Little Birds, Class 8 A, Golden Youth) that were created at public service broadcaster Czech Television and represented an alternative platform at the station.
“However, alongside the successes referred to, the work of the Brno group has also sparked a discussion in society. We regard this as one of the most important missions of public service media. Her programmes about minorities and efforts to reflect the very mission of public service media on screen were acts of courage that won her deserved recognition in the film community and beyond,” read an open letter written at Prague’s FAMU film school against the forced departure of Kamila Zlatušková from Czech Television, which was announced in March 2016.
