Juraj Jakubisko

Juraj Jakubisko (born April 30, 1938 in Kojšov , Czechoslovakia , now Slovakia ) is a Slovak director, scriptwriter and cameraman.

He studied photography at a middle school in Bratislava (1953–57) and then directing at FAMU in Prague . He made his debut with the feature film Kristove roky in 1967 after making several short films. In the 1970s, due to censorship in Czechoslovakia, he was only able to make documentaries after his films Zbehovia a pútnici , Vtáčkovia, siroty a blázni (birds, orphans, fools) and Dovidenia v pekle, priatelia! had been banned. It was not until the late 1970s that he made the feature film Postav dom, zasaď strom ( Build 'a house, plant' a tree) before reaching its climax in the 1980s with the films Tisícročná včela and Perinbaba (Frau Holle).

Jakubisko has lived in Prague since 1993. He is a member of the European Film Academy and has been a lecturer at FAMU since 2001.
