Petr Smělík
documentary filmmaker
„I'm fascinated by documentary filmmaking mostly for its ability to carry viewers to worlds they wouldn't be able to visit otherwise. The most important goal of my creative process is to capture the life that surrounds us honestly and truly, yet with a strong audiovisual emphasis.
I'm a documentary filmmaker from the Czech Republic who makes people smile and think by filming stories about dedication - stories that are true and inspiring.
I've been working as an editor and music director for about 17 years.
I work mostly for Czech television, but also for independent production companies.
The documentary "A Year in a Village" (2020) is my first as a director.
In 2023 Czech television is going to release "First May" - a documentary about the history of this day throughout 1890 - 1990.
I'm currently finishing Chasing The Wada Dream - a documentary about blockchain education in Africa.
In the same year I finished Chasing The Wada Dream, a documentary about blockchain education in Africa.
In 2024, Czech TV launched Identity, a documentary series about graphic design, which I edited. I'm currently finishing a feature documentary for cinemas that follows this series.
I am currently directing a documentary series on the development of Czech cinema and preparing the film based on the immersive theatre production There's a life to be lived (Musi se zit)."
