Golden Sixties - Season 1 Episode 14 Drahomíra Vihanová
Overview: She had always been interested in those who behave differently than others. And she was no different. She studied musicology and aesthetics, and in parallel piano at the conservatory, she wanted to become a pianist, reason, however, led her to FAMU. She graduated in contemporary directing and filmed custom documents. In feature film she debuted with an existential vision of the individual bankruptcy Squandered Sunday (Zabitá neděle, 1969). This movie went immediately into the safe and she was blacklisted for years as a filmmaker, under the given circumstances she proved herself an excellent documentary maker. In a feature film, she continued with her probes into human diversity in The Fortress (Pevností, 1994) and The Pilgrimage of Students Peter and Jacob (Zpráva o putování studentů Petra a Jakuba, 2000). She dedicated everything, even her privacy, to film. She was rather misunderstood, but remained herself, most challenging for herself.
