Using the example of three films spanning different historical periods, the study provides an analysis of the creative potential of a compilation film. In its first part, the study contemplates the juxtaposition of current events within the concept of a critical compilation film by Henri Storck Histoire du soldat inconnu [Príbeh neznámeho vojaka, 1932], while in the second part, the study scrutinises an avant-garde approach to the juxtaposition of archival materials employing the found footage concept of A Movie (1958), film by Bruce Conner. In its third part, the study provides an analysis of the juxtaposition of acted scenes as a principle of a successive narrative within the concept of the film Final Cut: Hölgyeim és uraim [Dámy a páni, finálna verzia, 201] by György Pálfi.
