ETA GAČR project: Animation Studios in Gottwaldov and Lodz (1945/47-1990) - Comparative Collective Biography
The production centre of film animation in Zlin/Gottwaldov had a specific tradition of its own. Itmakes it an ideal focus of a comparative research methodologically based on a collective monograph of a selected group of studio workers and comparing Gottwaldov with the Se-Ma-For studio in Lodz. In similarity to Gottwaldov, Lodz’s tradition of film production was cultivated outside of the administrative centre in Warsaw. This research opens the possibility to analyse the structure and intensity of the personal, material and institutional networks that formed these studios, to compare the two “peripheral” production milieus and their culturally, historically, industrially, as well as topographically specific dynamics. The comparison of Zlin with Lodz will allow to identify both the specific and the shared characteristics of the creative clusters formed and cultivated during the state-socialist era. The project will research on the important role of patronage and brokers, the efficiency of the transaction networks, and their influence on production quality.
