I'm keen on learning about new possibilities and better understanding the film and travel industry worldwide in order to develop skills that will enable us to enrich the Czech film industry and make films as well as film education more accessible to Czech as well as foreign visitors. I believe that Travel Massive offers a unique opportunity to broaden our knowledge as well as to meet a diverse range of professionals that could help us with our future projects.

During the last five years I've been working in the film industry, mostly exploring the possibilities of diverse fields together.
I've been cooperating with international film festivals in the Czech Republic, Denmark and Portugal.
I've also completed various internships related to film such as participating in the Dok.Incubator project (a unique documentary workshop in Europe, that supports films in the rough cut stage, in order to emphasise their international potential and help them to break into the market), organizing an International Film Studies Conference NECS dedicated to Media politics and being introductory speakers in art cinemas and festivals. As a part of these internships I've also started to work in the Artcam film distribution company, where I was in charge of activities that aim to develop alternative art film distribution in the Czech Republic. I'm also linked with the film website Indiefilm.cz, one as an editor thanks to which I've attended international film festivals around Europe as press. I have also experienced film from the other point of view - as film production assistants during various film shoots in the Czech Republic.

As fim studies student I'm not only passionate cinephile, but also have a background in film history that led me and my classmates to found our current student project NaFilM (National Film Museum). It is a project that endeavours to establish a unique institution whose purpose is to examine, re-evaluate and publicly present the importance of the Czech Republic’s national film heritage not only to the Czech people but also to visitors from all around the world.
In the context of Europe, the Czech Republic is one of the few countries whose national film heritage isn't publicly accessible. As we find the absence of any Czech institution comparable to other European Film Museums to be a shameful oversight, we decided to change the current situation and find a suitable concept for a Czech Film Museum. Therefore we've been in consultation with theorists, experts and curators over the past three years, researching and exploring the possibilities of exhibiting film and its history in the museum.
We are currently running NaFilM: The Exhibition (June 3rd to October 25th 2015) in the Museum Montanelli (Nerudova 13) that is the first public presentation of our long-term project. Its aim is to showcase our film museum concept and present to visitors the significant Czech film heritage in a worldwide context, while also highlighting different curatorial approaches to exhibiting the film medium and its history.
Thanks to the exhibition and its diverse accompanying program for schools and the public we hope to gain crucial feedback about the NaFilM project.
As I believe in the importance of international cooperation, we have also initiated the international project ThinkFilM in which we cooperate with partners from other European countries where film education for young people and the general public is already well-established through different initiatives provided by local film museums.

I believe that Travel Massive would move our project NaFilM forward in our current goals and widen our perspectives of the worldwide film and travel industry.
