Three Czech films directed by Karel Zeman were shown at the International Animation Film Festival VOID which took place in Copenhagen on 26 January – 4 February 2017.
Karel Zeman was a Czech film director, artist, production designer and animator, best known for directing fantasy films combining live-action footage with animation. His film Journey to the Beginning of Time, which was released in 1955, became Zeman's breakthrough film, his first to combine live action, animation and puppetry. Four years later, Invention for Destruction brought him a worldwide success. The film was immediately sold to 72 countries and became the most successful Czech film of all times. Zeman continued to develop his highly successful use of special effects in The Fabulous Baron Munchausen.
The films were shown on Sunday 29 January at Cinemateket in Copenhagen.
