Barrandovské nokturno aneb Jak film tančil a zpíval

The 50th anniversary of the Barrandov studios was celebrated with a spectacular show: many directors and other important people gathered in the expensive decorations of the Variety Theatre auditorium (built for the Circus Humberto series). They smiled and showed well-deserved relaxation after a job well done in managing socialist cinema. Vladimir Sís interspersed this with excerpts from films, mainly his own and also a little of others who had worked on the "Hill of Dreams".

Directed by Vladimír Sís, Barrandovské nokturno aneb Jak film tančil a zpíval leans on a strong ensemble — Miroslav Horníček, Miloš Kopecký, Jiří Bartoška — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1985.
