American actor Keir Dullea was born on 30.5.1936 in Cleveland. His parents owned a bookshop in New York. Keir studied in Pennsylvania and then continued in San Francisco and after graduation he started flirting with acting. It was in 1960 and lasted over 60 years up until now. Mostly he was devoting his time to TV and theatre and made 30 films in all, but he became immortal thanks to lead in legendary movie 2001: Space Odyssey filmed by Stanley Kubrick in 1968. He repeated his character-astronaut David Bowman - in sequel, filmed in 1984.

Although 52 years passed since Kubrick´s cult movie, he has more fans around the world than ever before.Therefore he travels around the world alone or with his colleague Gary Lockwood and meet and talk to fans. Maybe that is why we have been waiting for his answers for 19 months but it was worth waiting for.

We met American director Scott Rosenbaum on Zlín Film Festival decade ago, where he screened in premiere his movie Perfect Age of Rock´n´Roll. Since that time, we kept in touch and because he made some interesting documents, we felt it´s time to look back and speak about progress in his career.

 

We had many reasons why we decided to make this tribute article about legendary film actor Paul Newman. This year he would have celebrated 95th birthday (was born on 26.1.1925) and as it is written in his biography, he was a man of his era which spanned from WWII up to times of digital films. His career has lasted for over half a century, and he was ever present in film studio, theatre seminars and racing tracks. Everything he did, he did at 100 % and genuinely. When he made a film, he concentrated at his role, when he was racing, he wanted to be the fastest and to win, when he set up his business he dedicated all profits for charity and gave away over 400 million dollars. He was determined, courageous, humble, compassionate and fair. He was real man, who called spade a spade and stood by his opinion which he wasn´t scarred to voice loudly. He was REAL film star, idol of many generations. World laid by his feet but he took only very tiny bit for himself and gave back much more. We want to offer comparition between him and current generation of actors, who are made stars by media after two financially successful films and they don´t know what to do with money, spend them on many luxurious mansions and cars.They say their opinion but are willing to void it and appologise if it could endanger their career in current political correct era.Some of them don´t know if they feel like man or woman and that is why Academy is said to void category „actor“ and „actress“ and replace it by unisex „performer“. Newman didn´t like ostentatious behavior and missed many Academy Awards ceremonies and rather went racing or watched TV at home.

 

Czech film director Slávek Horák was born on 12.1.1975 in Gottwaldov. After finishing secondary school he attended local Film school and was accepted onto FAMU (Prague based Film Academy) which he didn´t finish due to being very busy with filming the commercials. As director´s assistant he helped Jan Svěrák film famous Kolja film. He became publicly known for his movie Home Care which was very successful home and abroad. This year he brought into cinemas his second feature film called Havel which had it´s premiere at Summer Film School in Uherské Hradiště. It was there where we firstly met him and were spellbound by his friendly attitude, charisma and effort, so we immediatelly asked him for interview.
