The studio survived
difficult times after the Czech
Republic’s first democratic elec-
tions of 1990, when state financ-
ing was abolished for the pro-
duction of Czech films, which
was still the main work carried
out there. Then came transi-
tion privatisation, after which
the studio operated poorly for
years, almost closing its doors
altogether in the late ‘90s.
However, compared to oth-
er Eastern European countries
that suffered turbulent transi-
tions, Barrandov kept the great
advantage of its property not
being destroyed. A vast collec-
tion of 300,000 costumes and
props from different historical
periods was preserved. Nothing
was destroyed, sold off or lost
to settle debts. Everything was
preserved perfectly, includ-
ing the wooden studios that
survived the war, the commu-
nist era and the transition, and
which work as they did eighty
years ago...
Today Barrandov is fully
privatised, owned by Slovakian
company Moravia Steel, and is
again working well and plenti-
fully. There are a total of 14
excellent sound stages, while a
modern new biggest Studio Max
of 4000 square metres has been
built and is doing great work;
there are well-established de-
partments for costumes, props
and furniture, master classes for
set design, post-production, as
well as a modern studio for film-
ing and sound synchronisation.
Last month, while we were visit-
ing Barrandov, staff members
were anxiously awaiting news
of whether a contract would
be signed for the shooting of a
new world super spectacle. A
number of TV series and films
are currently being shot at this
film city, while Studio Max has
been taken over by the team of
the TV series Crossing Lines, by
U.S. TV network NBC.
At one time magazine
Vanity Fair wrote about Heath
Ledger in Prague during the
Barrandov filming of the movie
A Knight’s Tale in 2000, reveal-
ing that the movie’s budget
was $47 million, less than half
the money that would have
been required to record the
film in the U.S. Is Barrandov
still so much cheaper? Studio
representatives don’t want to
reveal, but the Czech Repub-
lic today offers significant
tax breaks for shooting films
and TV series – 30 per cent
discount on all costs incurred
in the Czech Republic – and
Barrandov attracts internation-
al teams. The Czech Republic
exports film services worth
approximately $150 million
annually. Barrandov recently
also became a production
company in its own right and
partly funded the shooting of
the Norwegian fairy tale epic
The Christmas King - In Full
Armour
.
It would be difficult for any
other world studio to be able to
compete with the comprehen-
siveness of Prague, which offers
nearby wild nature, magnificent
castles and, at Barrandov itself,
extraordinarily created sets and
costumes, as well as top mae-
stros and film professionals...
Nastanak Barandova bio je poduhvat češke
porodice predratnih preduzetnika čuvenog
prezimena – Havel /
The emergence of
Barrandov was the undertaking of a Czech
family of pre-war entrepreneurs with a famous
surname – Havel.
