I Am a Cursed Photographer

Julius Matula / Czechoslovakia / 1969 / 14 min.


synopsis

The film about the spontaneity of life and work captures the spirit and unconventional personality of photographer Pavel Hudec Ahasver. You will not learn any facts from this stylized portrait, just experience what the bohemian life in Czechoslovakia of the late 1960s was like.

biography

During his studies at the FAMU, Július Matula (1943–2016) made his first documentaries I Am a Cursed Photographer (1969) and My Aunt Vincencia (1969). As an assistant director at the Barrandov studios, he worked, for example with Ivan Balaďa on The Ark of Fools (1970); until 1991, Matula made twelve feature films.
