    Date of thesis defence: 2020-09-18
    This thesis examines the conception of a heroine in fiction screenwriting by analyzing the work of Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier. It mainly focuses on the inscribed qualities and characteristics of his female protagonists, and interprets their instrumentality and influence over their narratives, outlining each character's social, emotional, and intellectual entanglements and utilizing their predicaments to assess their agency and empowerment within Lars von Trier's universe. It also addresses the peculiarities of what constitutes a von Trier heroine, referencing Freytag's technique of the drama, and offers a comparative approach between the heroines themselves. The thesis also concentrates on what each of these characters have to say about the state of society, and their resolve in confronting the hardships imposed upon them.
  • Fictional Truth: Use of Documentary Style to Create Truthfulness in Fiction films
    Gudrúnardóttir, Elísabet Elma
    (Akademie múzických umění v Praze.Filmová a televizní fakulta, 2021)
    Date of thesis defence: 2021-06-15
    This thesis examines the influence of documentary style on the truthfulness of two fiction films of the late 90s – The Celebration (1998) of Danish director Thomas Vinterberg and Rosetta (1999) or Belgian brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. These two films can be explored through their amount of realism in various form, whether realism is their specified goal or not. To shed light on the realistic tendencies of these films they will be analysed trough story content, acting, directing, cinematography, mise-en-scène, location choices, budget size, sound and editing. In addition, it is important to look at the chief points of the technological developments in documentary films and important earlier cinema movements to which these films share a resemblance. The Celebration was the first result of a movement, Dogma95, announced 3 years prior to the film’s release. Rosetta is a product of ‘Dardennian’ style developed from the directors’ move from documentary to fiction. Both films will be analysed through their dedication to their respective movements, Dogma and ‘Dardennian’ style, and both the films and the movements in accordance with documentary tradition.
