Description
The Story of Obsession with Film Film director and screenwriter Vojtěch Jasný (1925—2019) became famous as the author of one of the legendary works of the Czechoslovak film miracle — the balladic Moravian chronicle All Good Natives (1968). In response to the Soviet occupation, he went into exile and became a film nomad across Western Europe and North America. His filmography includes over fifty titles, most of which were created abroad. The film poet of his homeland underwent a difficult adaptation to foreign cultural and production environments, which brought a shift from authorial artistic direction to commissioned industrial production and expanded his activities into new areas — television, documentary, theater, and teaching at film schools. The book is based on original archival research and works with the concept of the interplay between scholarly study and personal testimony. An integral part of the publication is an extensive photographic and filmographic appendix.
