Existing scholarship on film and cultural criticism in the digital era points to blurred boundaries between the so-called professionals and amateurs or fans. How, then, can we delineate and define the intersections, shared practices and points of contact between these different, yet converging critical schools? This study, based on a rhetorical analysis of three Czech Youtube channels (Toren, Medojed, Hroty Algernona), argues that film reviews in the digital age can be productively described in terms of affinitive rhetoric. Affinity here does not stand for a personal emotional bond to films or their publics, but rather represents an ambiguous blend...

Meanwhile, the uniqueness of this architectural heritage seems to have been forgotten despite the inventiveness of the modern architecture of the 1940s and 1950s. The recent decades have even witnessed a net outflow of inhabitants from the rebuilt city centers. By promoting this...

The study deals with the characteristics of Czech industrial film during the First Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1938) on the example of the Škoda company, former armory and then one of the key engineering companies of the interwar years. The resulting text is based on research into film materials preserved in Národní filmový archiv, Prague. In the case of Škoda, a corpus of preserved utility films is relatively large and diversified. This made it possible to focus on very specific modes of cooperation between industry and cinematography as a basis for certain general typology. The study follows three types of "work" performed by films for the Škoda...
