About

* 1993

I'm a documentary filmmaker and researcher, currently doing my PhD in Film: Practice as Research at the University of Kent. My PhD project lies between documentary film and anthropology and focuses on the meaning of home in London.

I also work as a Lecturer in Film & Media Practice at the University of Kent.

I've made several short award-winning documentary and experimental films and since 2013, I work as a freelance filmmaker, mostly as an editor and self-shooting director, for art organizations and companies.

Most recently, I co-produced two projects for the Czech Centre London – the Touching 1989 project about the revolutionary events of 1989 in former Czechoslovakia, and Brutal Beauty: A Video Tour of the Czech and Slovak Embassies in London.

In the past, I have worked for various clients including:

FACT Liverpool
Liverpool Biennial
Everyman & Playhouse Theatre
Liverpool Philharmonic
National Museums Liverpool
Czech Centre London
Slovak Embassy London

Czech Alzheimer Foundation
Czech TV
Czech Academy of Sciences
UNIQA Insurance Group
Aimtec
AV Media

Before starting my PhD, I have also spent a couple of months working on a full-time basis as a Junior Video Editor for Endemol Shine Group.

I originally come from Prague where I've completed my Bachelor's degree at the Department of Documentary Film Direction at FAMU. Subsequently, I have studied Master of Research in Art and Design degree at Liverpool John Moores University, for which I developed a multidisciplinary research project exploring the relationship between loneliness in later life and technologies through co-produced documentary filmmaking.

I'm a co-founder of the First Autism-Friendly Screenings Kino v klidu in the Czech Republic and since 2015, I work as a media manager for the Czech Alzheimer Foundation.

I speak English, Czech and French.
