Roman V\u00e1vra (1965) is a contemporary Czech filmmaker. He first graduated from the University of Economics and was interested in journalism. Eventually, however, after 1989 he turned to FAMU where he graduated from the Department of Documentary Film.<\/p>\n

During his studies he began to cooperate with Czech Television in 1992 and to shoot his first films as Czech TV productions. He specialized in documentary production. In the mid-1990s, for example, he was fascinated by the peculiar portraits of The Gravedigger and the documentary Warriors about a group of harvesters weeding cowslips. In 1998 he directed his first feature film \u2013 What You Catch in the Rye, for which he was nominated for five Czech Lions and won prizes at a number of international festivals. He received honors for his next feature-length documentary Battle for Life, which he co-wrote with Miroslav Jank and V\u00edtek Jane\u010dek. This film was also the first post-revolution documentary to be put on general cinematic release. Roman V\u00e1vra is also a multiple holder of the Prize of the Czech Literary Fund and the Pavel Jur\u00e1\u010dek Prize. In 2003 he made a fairy tale in Czech-Slovak-German co-production. With the writer Milo\u0161 Dole\u017eal he prepared a documentary about the life of Josef Toufar.<\/p>\n

V\u00e1vra is not only a director, but often acts in his films also as a screenwriter, cameraman and editor. And also he plays in minor roles. He also directs for theater.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
