The 2-part feature-length documentary &quot25 ze šedesátých aneb Československá nová vlna&quot (&quot25 from the Sixties, or Czechoslovak New Wave&quot) presents a complex view of the phenomenon of Czech and Slovak New Wave in the cultural and social context of the 60&#39s. 25 fundamental films commented on by their makers and film historians offer the viewer a dramatic insight into the golden era of Czechoslovak cinema. 　　The documentary is a follow-up on the biographical TV series &quotZlatá šedesátá&quot (Czech Television, 2009), based on the filmmakers&#39 personal remembrances. As opposed to the series, the documentary presents the Czech and Slovak cinema of the 60&#39s in the national, international and also inter-generational context. It describes the ways the New Wave crossed the existing artistic boundaries, how it variegated the world cinema and where it left an ineffaceable impression. It analyses the work of filmmakers in a state-funded cinema, under the pressure of ideological demands on one hand and commerce on the other. It presents the dilemma of a man - an artist - on the edge between contradictory social systems and incongruous aesthetic requirements. The existential drama of a man acting freely and at the same time mercilessly crushed by the wheels of the system. 　　The 60&#39s are, from this point of view, mostly an era of fortunate historical constellation, not only in - at that time - Czechoslovakia, but on a world-wide scale. An era of expectations and upswing, but also an era of exemplary human decisions and artistic pursuit. Those are some of the things &quot25 ze šedesátých aneb Československá nová vlna&quot wants to commemorate. 　　Part 1 comments on: 　　■&quotSlnko v sieti&quot (&quotThe Sun in a Net,&quot 1962) by Štefan Uher 　　■&quotKonkurs&quot (&quotAudition,&quot 1963) by Miloš Forman 　　■&quotKřik&quot (&quotThe Cry,&quot 1963) by Jaromil Jireš 　　■&quotPostava k podpírání&quot (&quotJoseph Kilian,&quot 1963) by Pavel Juráček Jan Schmidt 　　■&quotKaždý den odvahu&quot (&quotCourage for Every Day,&quot 1964) by Evald Schorm 　　■&quotDémanty noci&quot (&quotDiamonds of the Night,&quot 1964) by Jan Němec 　　■&quotIntimní osvětlení&quot (&quotIntimate Lighting,&quot 1966) by Ivan Passer 　　■&quotAť žije republika&quot (&quotLong Live the Republic,&quot 1965) by Karel Kachyňa 　　■&quotObchod na korze&quot (&quotThe Shop on Main Street,&quot 1965) by Ján Kadár Elmar Klos 　　■&quotRomance pro křídlovku&quot (&quotRomance for Bugle,&quot 1966) by Otakar Vávra 　　■&quotSedmikrásky&quot (&quotDaisies,&quot 1966) by Věra Chytilová 　　■&quotOstře sledované vlaky&quot (&quotClosely Watched Trains,&quot 1966) by Jiří Menzel 　　Part 2 comments on: 　　■&quotKristove roky&quot (&quotThe Prime of Life,&quot 1967) by Juraj Jakubisko 　　■&quotStud&quot (&quotShame,&quot 1967) by Ladislav Helge 　　■&quotSvatba jako řemen&quot (&quotA Hard and Fast Marriage,&quot 1967) by Jiří Krejčík 　　■&quotDrak sa vracia&quot (&quotDragon&#39s Return,&quot 1967) by Eduard Grečner 　　■&quotMarketa Lazarová&quot (&quotMarketa Lazarová,&quot 1967) by František Vláčil 　　■&quotSpřízněni volbou&quot (&quotElective Affinities,&quot 1968) by Karel Vachek 　　■&quotSpalovač mrtvol&quot (&quotThe Cremator,&quot 1968) by Juraj Herz 　　■&quotZabitá neděle&quot (&quotSquandered Sunday,&quot 1969) by Drahomíra Vihanová 　　■&quotPasťák&quot (&quotThe Decoy,&quot 1968) by Hynek Bočan 　　■&quotPřípad pro začínajícího kata&quot (&quotCase for a Rookie Hangman,&quot 1969) by Pavel Juráček 　　■&quot322&quot (&quot322,&quot 1969) by Dušan Hanák 　　■&quotSlávnosť v botanickej záhrade&quot (&quotCelebration in the Botanical Garden,&quot 1969) by Elo Havetta 　　■&quotVšichni dobří rodáci&quot (&quotAll My Good Countrymen,&quot 1968) by Vojtěch Jasný
