Special effects in Czechoslovak films
From The Stolen Airship to The Three Veterans – join us on a journey through the magical world of special effects in Czechoslovak films.
A flower consuming a human-sized dog, travelling through water pipes
including a bulky luggage or the nose of an oriental princess crawling across
the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy – these are iconic scenes associated with
practical tricks and a reason to love the cinema of a cheerless period of our
history.
In the rich history of Czechoslovak cinema, the art of analog special effects
has long been a cornerstone of creativity and invention. From mischievous
comedies to original science fiction to eccentric horror films, all of these
films have fascinated and surprised audiences with their imaginative use of
special effects, craftsmanship and filmmaking mastery of the
pre-digital era.
