Biography
Václav Táborský (b. 1928, Prague) studied at FAMU and, from 1954, he made dozens of films revealing his preference for the film feuilleton and satirical documentary (Tinkers, 1961; Mud-Covered City, 1963; Ideas of a Detective-Story Reader, 1965). He also made two feature films based around children and adolescents (Taking Refuge in the Wind, 1965; Miraculous Puzzle, 1967). In 1968 he emigrated to Canada with his wife, film editor and director Dagmar Táborská, where he completed Seven to Remember, compiled from footage captured in Czechoslovakia in August 1968; he chiefly taught in Toronto (York University). He wrote several books such as Memoirs of a Movieman (2000) and Movieman and Man-Eaters (2013). After his wife’s death (2005) he set up the Dagmar and Václav Táborský Foundation, which presents annual awards to young documentarists up to the age of 35.
