Sborníky z konference

The conference raises questions that do not end with its program. The proceedings from each year’s conference capture these questions, place them in a broader context, and allow the discussion to continue even after the conference has ended. In doing so, they present the various perspectives that converge at the conference—academic research, filmmaking practice, critical reflection, and the audience’s experience.

III Zodpovědnost za téma

Publisher: Palacký University Press
Year: 2025
Language: Czech
Publication Type: proceedings, catalog
ISBN: 978-80-244-6691-0

The third publication in the series Ethics in Documentary Film focuses on the question of responsibility for the subject matter of a documentary film—from its selection and treatment to its reception and social impact. Contributions from authors in various fields demonstrate that ethics permeates all phases of production and is not an external constraint, but rather an integral part of the creative process itself. The book combines theoretical reflections, case studies, and student reflections, offering a space for dialogue on what it means today to bear responsibility for a film and for the world it depicts.
