The Czech Lion award-winner for Ideal Docudrama and the Proxima Grand Prix at Karlovy Vary, Adéla Komrzý and Tomáš Bojar’s Art Talent Show checks out the internal functions of the respected Academy of Arts in Prague and their choice process for brand-new candidates. I had the chance to overtake the interesting docudrama finally year’s First Look offered by MoMI and currently it’s been grabbed by Movie Motion for a staged launch starting March 22 at DCTV in New York City. Ahead of the launch, we delight in to specifically debut the trailer.
Right here’s the summary: “Year after year, talent admission exams are held at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague to determine who among the many applicants will earn a coveted spot at the 220-year-old institution. By extension, those chosen will set the tone in the fine arts world for years to come. Professors from each of the school’s subdisciplines interrogate the nervous young applicants, who in turn must not only present their work but also answer for their own artistic beliefs and practice. Equally exhausted by this process, the instructors are confronted by their own set of questions: how can and should artistic talent be assessed? What role do institutions such as the Academy play in the 21st century? What does the next generation of great artists look like?”
“I was approached by the AVU board a few years ago to make a TV programme commemorating the school’s 220th anniversary,” stated Adéla Komrzý. “I suggested I would in fact prefer to make a feature about talent tests at this prestigious art school. I was inspired by Claire Simon’s Le Concours which uncovers talent tests at the Paris-based La Fémis film school. The talent tests provide a favourable platform for asking questions such as: How do we search talents in the 21st century and which criteria do we use? Why do we need arts nowadays? What is an artist’s social role? What is the character and meaning of today’s art?”
