Abstracts

The present study analyses authorial approaches and themes brought by the generational change that set in after the most successful generation of documentary makers, the “Generation 90”, switched to producing feature films. The debuting authors Miro Remo, Vladislava Plančíková, Arnold Kojnok, Adam Oľha and Patrik Lančarič draw from the creative heritage of the previous generation and their work is an uninterrupted continuation of the work of those documentary makers. A departure can be seen especially in their focus on portrait documentaries (depicting individuals, groups or themselves), the examination of subjectively perceived historical themes and their inclination towards first-person narration and the revelation of private family stories. The only documentary maker that is different from the rest is Miro Rem, who tries to keep pace with current issues. All the other documentary makers continue re-evaluating history, ‘small’ history in contrast to ‘big’ history, or examining private family stories. Besides sporadic attempts at adding interest to their film language with animated passages, they use a lot of archival audio-visual materials.
