Film and television faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts
The Film and Television Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts ( Czech Filmová a televizní fakulta Akademie múzických umění v Praze , FAMU ), founded in 1946 as the Filmová fakulta Akademie múzických umění in Prague , (German Film and TV Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague ) , is a faculty at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague , Czech Republic .
In the 1960s, her graduates, including Miloš Forman , made numerous films of the “ Czechoslovak New Wave ” - from poetic to regime-critical .
Today's faculty has its own film and television studio Studio FAMU with its own film and television technology, props and stage design are mostly left to the school by Czech television and the Barrandov film studios . The students themselves only have to bear the costs of non-standard facilities and wishes, with the exception of foreign students participating in the 3F - FAMU For Foreigners program.
The faculty caused a sensation with the documentary “ Czech Dream ” by two students at the time. The opening of a hypermarket that actually did not even exist was advertised nationwide by means of a comprehensive advertising campaign . The “opening” attracted around 4,300 visitors, who were indignant to discover that the market was just a backdrop.
