| Description | Before 1915, film production in Czech lands was in its beginnings and further development was limited by many factors -- from the lack of money to problems with distribution. Contemporary entrepreneurs had to find their way to minimize the risk of financial loss -- their efforts usually lead to the diversification of activities. Presented study aimes to analyze the problem on the example of the first four Czech producers -- Kinofa, Illusionfilm, Lucernafilm and ASUM. Depending on applied strategies, these companies can be further divided in two groups. While ASUM tried to make multiple-reel fiction movies using the star image of Andula Sedláčková, the other three concentrated itself mainly in the area of nonfiction films and adverts. |
