Generation of normalization. The lost generation of Czech cinema?

Abstract

The monographic publication is the first attempt to more systematically map the fates of FAMU graduates who attended school in the 1960s and entered practice in the first years of normalization. Thirteen interviews with representatives of this lost generation (for example, Moris Issa, Angelika Hanauerová, Edgar Dutka or Daniela Fischerová) provide unique personal testimonies about the era of the 1960s and 1990s of the second half of the last century.

An introductory historical study places the stories of the creators in a broader historical and institutional context.
