Jaroslav Kratochvíl

Jaroslav Kratochvíl (b. 1985, Plzeň, Czechoslovakia) studied political science at the University of West Bohemia in Plzeň and documentary filmmaking at Prague's FAMU, from where he graduated in 2012. He is now studying for his doctorate and is researching the portrayal of Germans in Czechoslovak documentary film between 1945 and 1968. His student shorts General (2007) and The Munich Agreement (Mnichovský diktát, 2009) covered historical and political themes. He collaborated with Czech Television on a cycle of programmes mapping out Jewish cemeteries in ten regions of the Czech Republic, on the series "Expremiers and Children of Stalinism" (Děti 50. let), and on the TV series "Paths of Faith" ("Cesty víry"). Long Live Hunting! is his feature-length documentary debut.
