Description

The Barrandov Studios are one of the largest and oldest film studios in Europe.

For more than 80 years so far, the studios have been the location of choice for over 2,500 Czech and International films.

Barrandov’s founding fathers, the Havel brothers Vàclav and Milo. (the grandfather and uncle of later president Vàclav Havel), built the ‘Hollywood of Eastern Europe’ in the 1930s.

A legendary studio like this – and its story – has so far not been told to an English-speaking readership.

This collection aims to correct this, presenting the studio’s rich history, its esteemed directors, and their most important films.
