"Off the Plan": the Czechoslovak Army Film and the Prague Spring

Alice Lovejoy

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.

Keywords: film production companies and studios, politics and film, production, Prague Spring 1968, August 1968, documentary film, army and film, avant-garde film, production plans, new wave, experimental film
