Jana Merglová | Czechoslovakia | 1964 | 3 min
As the film’s title suggests, Jana Merglová made a playful film demonstrating the joy of animation – animating the inanimate, this time ordinary objects seen or rather ignored every day. Objects of various colours, shapes and materials suddenly acquire new characters.

Nina Čampulková | Czechoslovakia | 1984 | 8 min
Nina Čampulková also chose a story by Alois Mikulka. This poetic story about a fisherman who goes fishing, not to catch anything but rather to dream, proved right for her naïve artistic exercise in which she naturally connected the setting of a modern city with fantastic landscapes from the fisherman’s dreams.

Lenka Naibauerová | Czechoslovakia | 1988 | 6 min | CS
Thanks to its excellent folklore visual style, this music video for a folklore song about a man who one day decides to show everyone that he can do any job as well as his wife, looks like a whimsical folk comedy, but it is also a topical parallel on gender stereotypes.

Šarlota Zahrádková | Czechoslovakia | 1988 | 7 min | CS
Šarlota Zahrádková’s story can be seen as an innocent tale about children’s game of mummy and daddy. But the seemingly cute hippo story hides a clever satire on stereotype gender role and division of work in many traditional families.

Miroslava Humplíková | Czechoslovakia | 1992 | 8 min
Miroslava Humplíková’s film is unique not only thanks to her collaboration with the renowned Czech graphic artist Kája Saudek who imprinted his unique comic book style on the film, but also thanks to its original narrative which deals with gender stereotypes in a very modern and humorous way, considering the era when the film was made.

Zdeněk Novák, Blanka Šperková | Czechoslovakia | 1987 | 9 min
In her poetic film, Blanka Šperková utilized not only Chantal Poullain’s acting, but also hand-made artistic objects created from wires. The resulting film is an original parable of the complexity of the human mind and the meaning of invisible things that surround us.
