A description, separated by year, of mandatory exercises for students of FAMU, the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, a film school founded in 1946 as part of the Academy of Performing Arts. After the film schools of Moscow, Berlin, Rome, and Paris, it is considered the fifth oldest worldwide. After the Communist Coup of 1948, the school's curriculum was refashioned in accordance with the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography in Moscow, but overall it managed to maintain a relatively free and pressure-less environment that allowed for a range of creative approaches. The FAMU is perhaps best known for the directors it produced in the 1960s, which were associated with the Czechoslovak "New Wave" (such as Miloš Forman). In the 1970s, a number of important Yugoslav directors graduated from the school, including Emir Kusturica, Goran Marković, and Goran Paskaljević, thus leaving a major imprint on Yugoslav cinema. The exercises were aimed at students of the department of documentary filmmaking. They include notes on props, budget, technical equipment, and the main aims, including a more detailed project for those hoping to graduate. A scarce glimpse into training for film and television directing in Normalization-era Czechoslovakia.
