Moravian Hellas

About Moravian Hellas

Karel Vachek’s graduate film offers us a documentary essay which is both a light-hearted and aggressive little piece and also a parody of investigative film journalism. The Strážnice folk festival, backed by the cultural Party apparatus of the time, for years had little to commend itself to authentic folklore.

Karel Vachek's Moravian Hellas is a 1964 documentary film. At 33 minutes long, it arrived in January 1964.

The film is filed under student film and folk festival.

Jan Saudek appears as Twin B, and Kája Saudek as Twin A. The screenplay is by Karel Vachek. In the United States it streams on DocAlliance Films.
