Expelling Germans, Shifting Power

synopsis

A series of post-war films and radio reports provides an immediate view of population movements in liberated Czechoslovakia. Through them, the audience will become acquainted with the very economical and purposeful depiction of the expulsion of Germans in the media of the time. Although the displacement events were significantly reflected in the political language of the time, the media paid more attention to resettlement programmes, which in the Sudetenland were linked, among other things, to the immigration of re-emigrants. The series was created thanks to the co-operation of the Czech Radio Archive and the National Film Archive. It will be accompanied by commentary from its authors – Tomáš Dufka (AČRo) and Terezie Hlaváčková with Alena Šlingerová (both NFA).
