Writer Martin Ryšavý (1967), winner of the Magnesia Litera for his books Journeys to Siberia (2008) and Vrač (2010), is also a bold documentary filmmaker. His films stand on the edge of personal copyright notice and interest in different cultures. His film Afonka Doesn’t Herd Raindeer Anymore (2004, 2004 Jihlava IDFF) is dedicated to Siberia; Malupien, Olshovy Spas (2008, 2008 Jihlava IDFF) to Yakutsk; and On the Water (2015, 2015 Jihlava IDFF) to the northern Bohemia.
