A Memory for the Present

  • 10'
  • Czechoslovakia
  • 1963

By mixing footage of World War II with contemporary images of post-war Czechoslovakia, Němec reflects on the relationships between time, memory and legacy, a key issue in many of his later films. The film is also his first study of archival material and its aesthetic potential.
