An all-night expedition to see portraits of unique buildings in the Czech Republic and Slovakia that were built in the pre-revolutionary era. The film Architecture of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic 58-89 by Jan Zajíček, which received great acclaim not only at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, offers a footage of often neglected buildings accompanied by testimonies of leading architects. The theme was provided by the uncompromising rapper, artist, set designer and activist Vladimir 518, who not only writes books but also publishes them.
Jan Zajíček (*1977) studied directing at FAMU, but did not graduate until the department of animation and multimedia production. From 1993-2000 he was a member of the rap group WWW, and since the 1990s he has been working on graffiti. He continues to work on animated projects and feature TV spots. In addition, he has been involved in several student and documentary films, television and other projects as a music composer and editor. He also worked as a teacher at the Josef Škvorecký Literary Academy in Prague and participated in several exhibitions around the world (Italy, USA, Germany, Prague, EXPO Shanghai).
