AB The essay is taken from the manuscript of a book by American film historian Alice Lovejoy: The Army and the Avant-Garde: Art Cinema in the Czechoslovak Military. The author asks how the Czechoslovak military film production system reacted to the liberalization of the 1960s and the subsequent Soviet invasion, and how the artistic ambitions of young filmmakers (the phenomenon of "off the plan" production) were realized there.
