During the 1968 Prague Spring and the Soviet-led invasion and
occupation that followed, Czechoslovakia's Army Film studio was
responsible for some of the most politically subversive and
aesthetically innovative films of the period. Although the studio
is remembered primarily as a producer of propaganda and training
films, some notable New Wave directors began their careers there,
making films that considerably enrich the history of that movement.
Alice Lovejoy examines the institutional and governmental roots of
postwar Czechoslovak cinema and provides evidence that links the
Army Film studio to Czechoslovakia's art cinema. By tracing the
studio's unique institutional dimensions and production culture,
Lovejoy explores the ways in which the "military avant-garde"
engaged in dialogue with a range of global film practices and
cultures. (The print version of the book includes a DVD featuring
16 short films produced by the Czechoslovak Ministry of Defense.
The additional media files are not available on the eBook.)
