Alfréd Radok - the filmmaker and the founder of Laterna magika
Project goals
Alfréd Radok is one of the most important personalities of Czech culture in the 20th century. To date, only his theater activities have been studied, but his similarly important initiatives in the Czech cinema and the pioneering project in multimediasphere of Laterna magica have not received sufficient attention (at least not in a comprehensive manner). The final output of this grant project (in addition to the organization of a symposium on A. Radok) will be a book "Radok, Filmmaker and Founder ofLaterna magica" - it will focus on the two above-mentioned spheres of Radok's work in relation to his personal and artistic position in Czech culture after the war. His work will be analyzed in the context of his theatrical activities and in respect tothe history of the Czech and international theater, film and multimedia.

Alfréd Radok - filmař a zakladatel Laterny magiky
Annotation in Czech
Alfréd Radok je jednou z nejvýznamnějších osobností české kultury dvacátého století. Prozatím byla zpracována pouze jeho aktivita v oblasti divadla, zato jeho neméně zásadní iniciativa na půdě české kinematografie a zakladatelský počin v multimediálnísféře Laterny magiky není zatím prakticky - v rozsáhlejších studiích - reflektován. Výstup tohoto grantu (kromě sympozia o A.R.), kniha Radok, filmař a zakladatel Laterny magiky bude tedy věnován zmíněným dvěma oblastem Radokovy práce s přihlédnutím kjeho lidskému a uměleckému osudu v české poválečné kultuře. Jeho dílo bude analyzováno ovšem v kontextu s jeho prací divadelní a v souvislostech dějin českého a světového divadla, filmu i multimediální tvorby.

The research was complicated by the serious illness of prof. Cieslar, which ended - unfortunately - by his tragic death. That's why the chapter Alfréd Radok between film and theatre made by prof. Stehlíková is handed over separately. The chapter deals wi
