Dan Krameš (b. 1962, Prague), independent director and producer, initially concentrated on film adaptations of literary works, including the Kafkaesque The Wardrobe (1988) based on the story by Thomas Mann (Bronze Amphora at the Montecatini IFF). At the beginning of the 1990s he founded ALPHA PLUS PRO, which produces films, documentaries, and commercial programs (over 80 short- and medium-length and 11 feature-length works). In 1994 he shot the documentary Magic Prague, a unique parable of the city as a woman over the course of the millennium. Thanks to his close association with the worlds of music and theater (recordings of operas and stagings, film inserts), a superb constellation of actors came together for his feature debut Agatha (Agáta 1999), based on a Chekhov story. This year he finished the documentaries Jan Klusák – Axis Temporum (2009) and Argippo Reborn (2009), about the famous discovery of a lost Vivaldi opera.
