Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study focuses mainly on the genre of biographical compilation in the context of development of the compilation film form in Slovakia after 1989. The author analyses current creative approaches in creating biographical compilations or compilations with biographical motifs. His main interest is the application of film collage techniques by those documentary directors who work with appropriated audiovisual and archival materials. He explores the crossing of authenticity and fiction based on the case study of the biographical compilation film Countdown - The Last Film of Ivan Palúch (Odpočítavanie - posledný film Ivana Palúcha, dir. Martin Palúch, 2022). This feature film is a unique example of a biopic about the career and life of a film actor.
