| Popis | Based on a study of the new archival sources from the legacy of Karel Absolon and from the collections of the National Film Archive, the text evaluates the creation of the popular film The Secret of Macocha by director Josef Lachmann. The film treats the research and conquest works of Karel Absolon in the Moravian Karst, which culminated with making the Punkva Caves accessible in the 1930s. An interesting aspect of the creation of the film is the period context, which took place at the time of World War II. At that time, the film industry and cultural politics were subject to a number of repressions on the part of the German occupiers. Although Karel Absolon was perceived quite ambivalently by the Nazi representatives, it was managed to present the film with success to the public in 1942. |
