Burian's Women's Day: Helena Třeštíková

Erika Hníková / Czech Republic / 2008 / The film already had its Czech Premiere / 26 min.


synopsis

Helena Třeštíková has been collecting material for her time-lapse films for many years. The documentary programme dedicated to her was filmed over two days. One of the most successful Czech filmmakers is confronted with the limits of her own creative method and the fate of a female intellectual as a public figure.

“Jan Burian blamed me for not intervening, but at the same time for helping Marcela, for example, to find a job. These are contradictory accusations.”
