Jiří Krejčík

Nepochybně jedním z nejvýznamnějších režisérů a scénáristů české kinematografie je pražský rodák Jiří Krejčík. Po maturitě se věnoval studiu techniky a během druhé světové války pracoval v barrandovských ateliérech jako statista. Čímž pronikl do světa filmu a brzy zatoužil po vlastní režijní práci. Začínal tvorbou krátkometrážních a reklamních snímků. Spolupracoval také například s výtvarníkem Jiřím Trnkou na hrané části kresleného filmu DÁREK. První hraný celovečerní snímek natočil v r.1947 a byl jím TÝDEN V TICHÉM DOMĚ, na motivy Povídek malostranských od Jana Nerudy. Následoval film o osídlování českého pohraničí po druhé světové válce s názvem VES V POHRANIČÍ. V 50. letech byla jeho práce bohužel poznamenaná dobovou ideologií. Jedná se především o díla NAD NÁMI SVÍTÁ a FRONA. V r.1958 se podílel režií krátkého snímku Glorie na povídkovém filmu O VĚCECH NADPŘIROZENÝCH, kde se pokoušel adaptovat krátké prózy Karla Čapka. Za tento počin byl oceněn na Mezinárodním filmovém festivalu v Locarnu 1959. S příchodem let šedesátých, přichází podle mnohých vrchol Krejčíkovy tvorby, který odstartoval film VYŠŠÍ PRINCIP popisující smutné období heydrichiády, jenž získal také řadu různých ocenění a objevil pozdější velkou hvězdu českého filmu - herečku Janu Brejchovou. K dalším významným dílům patří povídkový snímek ČINTAMANI A PODVODNÍK či satirická komedie SVATBA JAKO ŘEMEN. V r.1967 Krejčík adaptoval hru známého irského dramatika Seana O´Caseyho Bedtime Story pod názvem PENSION PRO SVOBODNÉ PÁNY. Další velký úspěch zaznamenal v r.1979 životopisným filmem BOŽSKÁ EMA o slavné operní pěvkyni Emě Destinnové. Posledním filmem Jiřího Krejčíka se stal v r.1984 PRODAVAČ HUMORU - satiristický pohled do zákulisí socialistického estrádního průmyslu. Od té doby se jeden z nejuznávanějších domácích filmařů věnuje výhradně práci pro televizi. Režisér Jiří Krejčík už se několikrát také objevil na filmovém plátně. Z jeho maličkých, ovšem nezapomenutelných rolí vyniká především nenasytný pan Karel z Menzelových SLAVNOSTÍ SNĚŽENEK a dále profesor Stárek v retrokomedii Jana Hřebejka PELÍŠKY. Born : 26th-Jun-1918

The Snowdrop Festival

This movie is based on texts of Bohumil Hrabal, world-known Czech prosaic. It's a story (in a form of a mosaic of short episodes and pictures) about the sadness and happiness of inhabitants of Kersko (Kersko is a small woody area full of cottages and roods). These people are both simple and sensitive, they have their own pleasures (e.g. Leli is a collector of cheap, but inutile things) and the greatest delight of all of them is a hunting. Crude poetics of amateur hunting is screened by dreamy pictures of this area. Menzel mixes sentimental lyricism and rough (but not vulgar!) humor and the outcome is the never-ending landscape of continuous life in the proximate nearness of nature. The performances of actors are brilliant. Both Rudolf Hrusinsky as a Franz and Jaromír Hanzlik as a Leli have nonrecurring charm bottomed on a pain and inebriation. Only the music is not perfect: Jiri Sust usually assembled his film music from his older works and in this movie there is many quotations.

Searching for Ester

Ester Krumbachová - a costume designer, screenwriter, director; one of the boldest personalities of the Czech New Wave. She worked in theatre, she was a writer and an illustrator. She co-created films such as O slavnosti a hostech (1966), Sedmikrásky (1966), Vsichni dobrí rodáci (1969), Pension pro svobodné pány (1968), Valerie a týden divu (1970), Slamený klobouk (1972) and many others. In the 1960s, she was a 'pivot' of the art scene in Prague, attracting artists who were on the threshold of their career, just setting out to find their own form of self-realization. Those who underwent her tutelage remember her forever. Director Vera Chytilová talks to those who knew Ester Krumbachová, who worked with her, befriended her, loved her. She sets off on a search that is to end by answering the question: Who was Ester?
