Kríza obrazu-akcie a slovenský hraný film prvej polovice 60. rokov
A Crisis ofAction-Image and Slovak Feature Film of the Former Half of the 1960s

Summary/Abstract: The paper eludates the possibilities of the application to Slovak feature film of the action-image crisis concept, as formulated by Gilles Deleuze. It is based on the assump¬tion that narrative tendencies, which began to boom in European cinematography along with the earliest success of neorealistic films, could not be applied within the Slovak cinematographic context up until the 1950s. In the former half of the 1960s, several directors, notably Stanislav Barabas, Eduard Greener, Martin Holly, Peter Solan, and Stefan Uher shot films in which not only the departure from a rapid change of actions typical of the films of the early socialist realism was patent but also the stress on the outsider nature of the protagonists, the quest for truth, and the rejection of flat one-dimensional views. It is these aspects, which indicate a need to re-consider the action--image aspect of socialist realism. The authoress is also interested in the issue of false time and memory images in the films by Stanislav Barabas shot in the 1960s.
