Pure Film:
The art of Jan Němec
CER has won the
NetMedia 2000 Award for 
Outstanding Contribution 
to Online Journalism in Europe
Politics has prevented Jan Němec from achieving the attention he deserves: his innovative 1960s work was banned in his native Czechoslovakia, and he was forced into exile. CER reviews his career so far.
Everything You Always Wanted to Know about My Heart...
Ivana Košuličová
Němec talks about pure film, being stateless and stolen hearts.
O slavnosti a hostech (The Party and the Guests, 1966)Enfant Terrible of
the Czech New Wave

Peter Hames
Němec was not only the most talented of Czech New Wave directors but also one of those least given to compromise.
The Free Expression of Spirit
Ivana Košuličová
Němec's post-1989 films continue the pioneering techniques and novel themes of his 1960s work.

Jan Nemec's Jmeno kodu Rubin (Code Name Ruby, 1997)The Life of a Film That
Can't Be Seen

Jan Němec & Miloš Fryš
The director discusses his 1997 film Jméno kódu Rubín and its making.

Meanwhile...
Can We Live
with the Truth?

Daniel Bird
Němec was not the only director who worked with writer and designer Ester Krumbachová to stunning effect.
