Plots(1)

This approximately a half-hour long documentary, which was co-produced by Palacký University and Czech Television, became a symbolic ending to the 70th anniversary of the university's restoration after the Second World War. The movie was developed in cooperation with the creative producer Martina Šantavá and the director Jakub Skalický. The script outline sees the university as a place where history meets modern trends, as the space of the vast campus blends with the beauty of Olomouc, but also as a scientific institution and specific community. The university chancellor Jaroslav Miller acts as a guide between the respective chapters, as he "wanders" around Olomouc on his bicycle to show the university's efforts at sustainable transportation and presenting informal touch to the whole university's atmosphere. The university is everywhere. The wide range of milieux is equally colorful. Among others, the documentary features Professor Josef Jařab, Docent Jana Zapletalová, Professors Karel Indrák and Ivo Frébort, and alumni Helena Suková, Jakub Železný, and many others.
