On their last day we screened the four final film products which were one element of their 4 week stay with us at FAMO in Pisek. Aside from these films the students participated in specific workshops (including a 16mm film stock day shoot) with FAMO faculty staff, participated in classes with their own NOVA film experts, and became immersed in Czech culture and Pisek's picturesque surroundings.
All of the American students and their Czech film crew counterparts should be proud of what they achieved. It was a pleasure to host NOVA, their staff and students, and we look forward to next year when the program will take place again!
In 2015 he received first place from the Film Foundation for the best unrealized scenario (for the same film). For the mini-series Semester, Adam was also nominated for the Czech Film Critics Award in the categories of discovery of the year and performances outside of cinema.
Other FAMO graduates who participated in the film Domestik include:
Producer: Jakub Jira, Sound engineers: Jan Šulcek andJakub Jurásek.
We thank the foundation for their support!
During this time, the students will attend lectures and workshops, experiment with film stock, and make four films to take home whose scripts were written in the US before beginning consultation with our production students and their own assisting teams. Filming will take place not only in Pisek's quaint streets and alleys, but also in the town's picturesque surroundings. Residents of Písek will have a unique opportunity to meet with the future American filmmaking generation.
From the reactions so far, students and teachers alike are enthusiastic (and who wouldn't be, especially with Czech beer on offer after a hard day at work!)
