Summary/Abstract: The topic of the book are Czech technical screenplays between 1945 and 1962. The nationalization of the Czechoslovak film industry in 1945 affected production in many ways. Ideologically suitable films and economical efficiency of production were common goals. The USSR film industry became a dominant inspiration. For example, literary and technical screenplay was established according to soviet manuals. The transfer of soviet experience encountered with Czechoslovak tradition. It resulted in unsuccessfull attempts in the implementations of the new practice. In three chapters I explore 1) screenwriting manuals, 2) changes of formal structure of TS, 3) the development of approval process. I combine metodological frameworks of production studies and screenwriting studies to explore history of technical screenplays.
