Bořivoj Zeman (2017)
Director Bořivoj Zeman is a classic of Czech film fairy tales. Not only that - he's their founder. The fairy-tales The Proud Princess, Once Upon a Time, There Was a King..., and The Incredibly Sad Princess, became audience favorites. Who was this person who could provide us so much loving humor? And what could he have made and what did he want to shoot? Answers to these questions are provided by the documentary portrait by Zuzana Zemanová, who discovered many facts about her own father during her filming, things she had no idea about.
