Jiří Trnka: A Long Lost Friend

Tereza Brdečková, Joël Farges / Czech Republic, France / 2019 / 79 min.


synopsis

Jiří Trnka was one of the greatest Czech artists of the 20th century and one of the founding fathers of puppet animation. His poetic and imaginative work starkly contrasts with the dark era of the 1950s in Czechoslovakia. His work was used by the regime as evidence that the communist society was able to provide artists with great conditions for creating works of art. The ideological race between East and West was unavoidable and affected both children and their stories.
