One of the great pioneers of the early Czech film industry, director and writer Jan S. Kolár (1896 – 1973) worked in a number of genres: supernatural fantasy, medieval epics, romantic melodrama, sci-fi and more. Deaf Crocodile is thrilled to collaborate with the Národní filmový archív, Prague and Comeback Company on this first-ever Blu-ray release of two of Kolár’s finest silent features and a number of rare shorts.
