Description Lecture based on historical research work in the field of Czech utility cinema deals with the Czech industrial production in the period from 1950s to 1970s and focuses on issues related to these types of films, the characteristic features of their production in Czechoslovakia, their functions and how they work as a tool of industry. This lecture examines the wider complex of relations of industrial films and their surrounding context, especially the continuity on economic policy and current trends in the national economy. The lecture also discusses amateur and semi-professional production of industrial films, namely so-called sponsored films that were produced in factory studios and clubs of film amateurs in the socialist Czechoslovakia, particularly during 1950s and 1960s.
