interesting and funny fact about this whole thing is that I had
never planned to visit India, but FAMU sent me there for four
days for film festival in FTII. I had never expected that these
four days will completely change my life. So it was simply
destiny. Since that time we made together with Ranjan many
projects, we have our son Vincent, we live partly in Prague as
well as in India and we are starting our own production
company - all details you can see our website viktori.cz. We
would love to create kind of intercultural bridge between
filmmakers and artist from India and Europe and for their
cooperation.
We want to catch this occasion to ask you to express your
view on the future of women in cinema. For more than half
a century women have been discouraged from getting
behind the camera, however in the last decades there are
signs that something is changing. What's your view on the
future of women in cinema?
Viktoria: Frankly speaking I am very much sure that many
many women are ready to became great filmmakers. It just
depends from each to each case if we are able to reach our
dreams or not, sex doesn´t matter I hope.
What does matter is individual talent, dedication, belief and
hard work and also kind of stubbornness. Personally, I also got
into many unpleasant situations while studying film direction
because I am woman, but also in the same time for same
reason I got many advantages too.. I see future of women in
cinema in very bright lights and I wish to whole women all
around the world not to be afraid to express themselves and to
go for their dreams. All your acts good or bad anyways will
come back to you in return, just remember that..
