Body Without Soul
Assistant Camera
Una mirada documental a prostitutas masculinas condenadas en Praga, de entre 15 y 18 años, que se pasean por la piscina pública, la estación de tren, una sala de juegos de video y una discoteca. Después de que los chicos hablan de cómo entraron en el juego, la cámara los sigue hasta la casa de Pavel Rousek. Bajo el nombre de Hans Miller, realiza videos porno gay, principalmente para distribución en Alemania. Intercalado con un rodaje de la película Chez Rousek es una entrevista que lo sigue a su trabajo diario en una morgue, donde realiza una autopsia mientras habla de su trabajo. El sexo no tiene protección; los chicos no tienen familia. Hablan de sus cuerpos y almas, del dinero, de su orientación sexual, del SIDA, de sus sueños y de la muerte.
Not Angels But Angels
Assistant Camera
Interviews with a procurer and with nineteen boys and young men who are prostitutes in Prague. The youths range in age from 14 to 19. They hustle at the central train station and at clubs. Most of their clients are foreign tourists, many are German. The youths talk about why they hustle, their first trick, prices, dangers, what they know about AIDS, their fears (disease and loneliness), and how they imagine their futures. The film's title, its liturgical score, much of it elegiac, and shots of the city's statues of angels underline the vulnerability and callow lack of sophistication of the young men.
A Major Role for Rosmaryna
Assistant Camera
The director of films for kids called Bonzurka together with her loyal assistants Drahuska and Honza are looking for the actors for a new movie "The Knee". Children for this movie should not be afraid and shy and they must have talent for acting. Thus the scouting is quite difficult. The most difficult is to find an actress for a main character who lost her hair after a serious illness and now has to spent the whole holiday in the countryside with a bald head resembling a knee. Although the makeup artist does his best an artificial baldness does not solve anything. From the selected little girls only the self-assertive Rosemary has the guts to let her long hair to be cut and shave off her head.
