Biografía
Jana Ševčíková (b. 1953, Prague) studied documentary film at FAMU, graduating with the poetic ethnographic essay Piemule (1983). After falling out with Krátký film Praha executives, who forced her to make 19 cuts in an 18-minute documentary, she decided to become a freelance filmmaker. Before the regime change she was primarily earning a living as a cleaner. She has retained her professional independence to this day, directing and producing her own films. Her work has been awarded many times at important film festivals, chiefly outside the country, making her films better known abroad than at home. Filmography: Worldly Children (Světské děti, 1981), Tulakona (1986), Jakub (1992), Old Believers (Starověrci, 2001), The Rite of Spring (Svěcení jara, 2002), Gyumri (2008). The last three films mentioned were also screened to KVIFF audiences.
