PRVÉ FILMY DOKUMENTARISTOV JARA VOJTEKA, JURAJA LEHOTSKÉHO, PETRA KEREKESA A DANIELY RUSNOKOVEJ

The study looks at the more significant from among the early works of prominent Slovak documentary filmmakers Jaro Vojtek, Juraj Lehotský, Peter Kerekes and Daniela Rusnoková which ushered in their later full-length films. The seeds of their directorial methodologies and styles can be traced back into the early days of their filmmaking careers, defining and forming their own and original styles in opposition to the others. All four are graduates of the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava and made their first films either as a part of their student assignments in the second half of the 1990s or shortly after the graduation at the turn of the millennium. Nowadays, all four filmmakers are the major representatives of the Slovak documentary cinema.
