Zusammenfassung:Moravian Hellas (1964): Karel Vachek made his entry into Czech cinema history with a bitingly sarcastic film essay, a mix of documentary and staged scenes, depicting the absurd, kitschy "folkloric traditions" encouraged by the Communist Party. One fellow director described it as a "time-bomb." The authorities banned it. [www.cinematheque.bc.ca]
Elective Affinities (1968): Made in the dying days of the Prague Spring, Karel Vachek's "Elective Affinities" - the punning title references Goethe - presents an unusual, ironic, and irreverent behind-the-scenes account of Czechoslovakia's turbulent 1968 presidential election, a last gasp of "independence" for the country prior to the Warsaw Pact invasion that August. Vachek and his crew were armed with the latest in mobile, lightweight gear; their unconventional approach, frequently, was to begin shooting at the point where other news crews switched their cameras off. The result is an all-access, often comic, cinéma vérité record of the running grease paint, unguarded moments, and accidental nudity that only occurs backstage ... It would be more than 20 years before Vachek made another film. [www.cinematheque.bc.ca]
