Finálové kolo letošního ročníku dějepisné soutěže gymnázií se blíží

Dějepisná soutěž gymnázií pořádaná Nadačním fondem Gaudeamus při gymnáziu Cheb je již řadu let významnou událostí středoškolských studentů z České a Slovenské republiky. Tato soutěž nejenže podněcuje zájem o historii, ale také poskytuje útočiště mladým nadšencům do dějepisu, aby ukázali své znalosti a vášeň pro studium minulosti.

Letos proběhne již 31. ročník. Vzhledem k mimořádnému zájmu o soutěž se od roku 2014 ve všech 22 krajích ČR a SR uskutečňuje krajské kolo, do kterého se zpravidla hlásí 250-330 gymnázií z obou zemí. Z krajského kola, které proběhlo ve středu 5. dubna 2023, vzešel tradiční počet 75 gymnázií, která se utkají 23. listopadu 2023 v Chebu. Studenti budou soutěžit ve znalostech evropských dějin 1945-1975 (od Postupimské konference až po Helsinskou konferenci).

"Dějiny jsou nejen o datech a jménech, ale také o porozumění kontextu a důležitosti těchto událostí v širší perspektivě. Tato soutěž nabízí studentům možnost prozkoumat spletité dějiny 20. století, které zásadně ovlivnily, jak Evropu, tak i celý svět. Soutěžící si nejen memorují prostá fakta, ale také se učí, jak interpretovat a rozumět historickým událostem a procesům," říká organizátor soutěže Mgr. Miroslav Stulák.

Atraktivnost celé soutěže umocňuje i skutečnost, že během vyvrcholení soutěže se do zadávání otázek zapojují  prostřednictvím velkoplošné obrazovky i osobnosti obou republik, v posledních ročnících to byli např. přední umělci Zdeněk Svěrák, Marek Eben, Viktor Preiss, Karel Gott, Jiřina Bohdalová, Emília Vášáryová, Štefan Kvietik, Marián Labuda, Martin Huba, Milan Kňažko, významní lékaři Josef Koutecký, Pavel Pafko, Jan Pirk, Vladimír Krčméry, slavní sportovci Jan Železný, Bára Špotáková, Ivo Viktor, Antonín Panenka, Dominik Hašek, Petr Čech, Jiří Holeček, Jozef Golonka, Miroslav Šatan, Miloš Mečíř, bratři Hochschornerovi, dále prezidenti SR Andrej Kiska, Zuzana Čaputová a předseda vlády SR Eduard Heger.

V roli odborných garantů se XXXI. ročníku zúčastní prof. PhDr. Jan Rychlík, DrSc., PhDr. Petr Blažek, Ph.D. a prof. PhDr. Roman Holec, DrSc., dále pak jako hosté prof. PhDr. Milan Hlavačka, CSc., PhDr. Jiří Plachý, Ph.D., a řada dalších osobností naší země z různých oblastí společenského života.

Na finančním zajištění se kromě desítek firem, podnikatelů a významných osobností ČR a SR, podílejí i ministři vlády České republiky, členové Poslanecké sněmovny i Senátu PČR, zastupitelé Karlovarského kraje a řada zastupitelů města Chebu. Setkání mladých historiků dále finančně podporují desítky městských úřadů České republiky a Slovenské republiky, městských a obecních úřadů Karlovarského kraje a také krajské úřady České republiky. Poslední ročníky finančně podpořily i desítky poslanců Národní rady Slovenské republiky.

Tato významná soutěž chebského gymnázia je připomínkou toho, jak mohou být dějiny inspirací pro budoucnost a jak je důležité uchovávat a sdílet znalosti o minulosti. Cheb je místem, kde se dějiny stávají živoucími a inspirativními.

Obsah Hradecké gymnázium je škola se špatnou pověstí, která má před sebou poslední podmínečný rok své existence. Buď se "něco" stane, nebo bude zrušena. Ví to ředitel Matula (Karel Heřmánek), jenž ale utopil pohled na realitu ve sklence chlastu, ví to zástupkyně Eva (Lucie Benešová), která by se ráda dostala k moci a dokázala, že škola by pod jejím vedením určitě prosperovala, ví to i češtinářka Eliška (Libuše Šafránková), jedna z posledních, které osud hradeckého gymnázia a jeho studentů není lhostejný. Na školu přichází mladý pedagog Adam (Ondřej Gregor Brzobohatý), který ještě neztratil všechny iluze. Z vlastní zkušenosti ví, že i z outsiderů se mohou stát hvězdy. Ačkoli se to zdá zpočátku nepravděpodobné, on je strůjcem a hybatelem úspěchu, díky kterému se škole podaří vyhnout hned prvnímu průšvihu v novém školním roce. Učitelský sbor plný pestrých charakterů, romantika, svébytný humor i drsnost školního prostředí, studentské trable i nikdy nekončící problematika vztahů rodičů, dětí a učitelů – kdo by tento osobitý, často vtipný, ale někdy i krutý svět neznal? Seriál Gympl s (r)učením omezeným přenese televizní diváky zpátky do světa školních lavic, který kdysi důvěrně znali nebo se v něm, ať už jako rodiče, učitelé, nebo studenti, pohybují dodnes.

Tmavomodrý svět - největší velkofilm Jana Švěráka

Ptám se sám sebe, zda-li to není nějaká náhoda, že jsem se v poslední době uchýlil k recenzování výhradně českých filmů. Kolikrát jsem dal v nedaleké minulosti přednost filmům s česky mluvícími představiteli před filmy zahraničními, mnohdy daleko lákavějšími… Avšak pořekadlo „zlaté české ručičky“ nebylo vždy na místě, a tak jsem vždy odcházel z kina s poněkud rozdílnými pocity. Nejednou mi zůstal nad tvorbou českých snímků rozum státi, zejména v případě nedávno uvedené komedie Vyhnání z ráje, stejně tak jsem si však ony pocity vynahradil nadprůměrnými zážitky, které zpestřily mé návštěvy v kině při sledování Samotářů či Rebelů.- Více na https://www.kritiky.cz/filmove-recenze/retro-filmove-recenze/2019/tmavomodry-svet-nejvetsi-velkofilm-jana-sveraka/

"There will never be an “us” if I play small. —SHARON PREISS In Dante’s Divine Comedy, the only difference between the lovers who find themselves enduring Hell and the lovers working their way through Paradise is that those in Hell have no individual center, and so they spin in endless identification with each other. Hard as it is, we cannot shrink from our relationships or we simply become an audience or gofer for the dominant partner or friend. Like most of us, I have struggled with this my whole life: fearful of what might happen if I actually voice my concerns and needs, surprised that doing so—while not always easy or pleasant—always enables me to be myself more fully. Then, not by chance, I’m always more able to feel and see the world around me. I bring more to the scene and am revitalized more readily by my daily experience. The great philosopher Martin Buber, who believed that God is most deeply known through relationship, spoke to the heart of this paradox. He said that before there can be a true relationship, there must be two separate beings who can relate. Most of our life experience bears this out. Unless we work to be ourselves, we can never truly know others or the numinous world we live in."-Mark Nepo I used to play small thinking that it was humility. I used to think like I was taught to shrink so that others may feel big. I didn't last long because my soul didn't care much for that. It was when I breathed my truth unapologetically, that my highest Self was felt by the those around me. I am constantly remembering who I am in every kind of relationship that I am blessed with. There's nothing to compare with wholehearted living.-zari #blackpoetboy #thebookofawakening #marknepo #wholehearted #trueliving

Bedtime Stories: Favorite Books to Benefit Your Growing Child

The following blog post Bedtime Stories: Favorite Books to Benefit Your Growing Child is republished from MLF

Bedtime stories are a part of almost every family nighttime routine. Reading is a screen-free, quiet activity that allows babies and children to calm down before it’s time to go to sleep. Reading stories to young children has benefits beyond a bedtime routine, though.

The American Academy of Pediatrics studied the brain function of children, age three to five, to see the effects of reading aloud. They found that the areas of the brain that promote mental imagery and comprehension were activated by reading stories. When you read to your child, it helps develop their brain in a way that will help when they begin to read and comprehend on their own.

Talk To Your Baby

Your baby really loves to hear your voice. It doesn’t matter if they understand your words early on. They are picking up speech patterns and tonal differences which help them learn and process language. Additionally, babies can sense your love and affection for them in your voice. Talk and sing to your child as much as you can and they will be learning how much you love them. They’ll also become better prepared to speak for themselves.

Read To Your Baby, Too

Reading books to your child is also important. We may just assume this is a good idea because everyone tells us to do it. But there is more to reading a bedtime story to a baby or toddler than having a calm activity before bed. Pediatricians are now including a discussion on reading and providing books with parents of newborns because it is vitally connected to a baby’s intellectual development. In fact, the AAP has even urged their practitioners to include literacy in their practice.

Scientists think that children are exposed to a broader range and more diverse set of words through picture books. As a result, they are challenged to practice imagining the images suggested through the words. Later on, children who have more practice at this will be better able to make images and stories out of words themselves.

Reading bedtime stories will help foster a close, emotionally rich relationship with your child

Bedtime Stories Bring You Closer To Your Child

There are huge benefits to your child’s development when you read books from an early age. This benefit goes well beyond an educational advantage. Regular bedtime reading will also help foster a close, emotionally rich relationship with your child. In time, it will help build a bridge toward discussion of deep ideas and important subjects that you will help him understand.

Growing a strong parent-child bond over years of snuggles and good books at bedtime is one of the best things about parenting. You may be dog-tired at times, but in 20 years, you won’t regret those 10 to 20 minutes a night you spent reading with your child.

Need a Good Book?

We live in an age where there is an abundance of wonderful children’s literature. There are always going to be more books available than we can possibly read to our child while they are interested, but it sure is fun trying to read them all!

You don’t need to buy them all. Start making regular visits to your local library and you will be amazed at the resources available to you for free. Many libraries allow you to reserve titles online in the comfort of your own home and then pick up your selections already collected for you at the main desk. This is a dream for the mom of young ones!

We’ve compiled a list of books to check out. Some are timeless classics, while others are modern. Most of these qualify as picture books. Picture books contain very few words in relation to the pictures — only about 500 on average — which means that each word is intentional, and the story is concise. This helps your child develop their language skills and encourages engagement through the pictures. A few have a larger vocabulary for older readers. The ages are approximate — these books are as ageless as they are timeless!

So, go ahead and curl up with your little one and a good book. It doesn’t even have to be at bedtime to offer huge benefits to your child.

Los Angeles-based internationally acclaimed Cinematographer Martin Preiss is a product of Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU) in Prague. Preiss  recently made his Bollywood debut with Raabta. While talking to Pandolin, Preiss shares how shooting this foreign language film in a new country has taught him a lot about life, filmmaking and creativity. Here are excerpts from the conversation in which Preiss reveals how he used the most expensive lenses ever in a Bollywood movie.

Martin Preiss – A Selfie with the crowd on set

You are a Czech cinematographer, writer and director. How did a Bollywood film like Raabta happen?

Well, it’s a story. One day, I woke up at 3 a.m. in my Los Angeles apartment because my European phone was ringing. I picked it up and somebody from Prague asked me if I was interested in doing a movie in Hungary. I said I was, but I told them I was in California and it was the middle of the night and if they could call later. When I woke up, I had zillion missed calls from India. So I called back, and was put in touch with Dino (Dinesh Vijan, Director). We set up a Skype call and immediately clicked together. After reading the script, which I personally really liked, I sent him some visual references. After the presentation, I talked to my agent Ann Murtha and a week later was on my way to Hungary to my first location scout. So it happened really fast. There were other really good DPs that Dino was considering, so I must have caught his eye with something. I think the collaboration worked.

How different was it to shoot a Bollywood film as compared to your previous projects?

Not much, telling the story is the same almost everywhere. You need to prepare it as much as you can and be ready to improvise. It took me some time to adjust to the Indian crew style, which is completely different from what I’m used to in US or Europe. But I had a great 1st AC, Bobby Sanivarapu. He’s an excellent professional who helped me a lot in navigating through renting and on set time. Later, in the Indian portion, we had Syed Mohammed Husain and he organized the crew excellently as well. And I would like to mention the Hungarian/Czech crew as well, which basically made it feel as any other European or American production. So there was not much difference. The Flat Packs film production company in Hungary really had top of the game Line Producers, and they all provided excellent service.

Tell me more about the visual treatment of the film, since there are two parts to the story – one set in a period era and the other in contemporary times. Also what color palettes did you choose for the parts?

For me, there are three parts of the story: the Romantic Comedy, the Drama in the past and the Thriller at the end. So I was trying to subtly make progress in order to create more of a dramatic look and keep some colors and artifacts peering through time from the past to present. I call it layering and I believe that the audience can feel these layers unconsciously. The more layers you can fit, the better. We talk here about visual storytelling, which I’m always trying to put into my movies. The visual rhythm, contrast, colors, lines and shapes. I made a graph and a visual treatment of these changes and wrote to Dino saying, “There are some locations, some lighting and some color that will be inspirational, but this will never show how the film will look. I don’t copy – I create truth through my vision, inspiration, and through my whole experience here on earth. I create the picture for the film. It will bubble to the surface through the preparation process from my inside.”

And that’s basically what happened. There is some link when I see some prep pictures and the final frames in the movie. But it always bubbles on set, on location with actors, and with available time and money. Some parts were superbly prepared and the shots are almost the same as on the storyboard. Sometimes we improvised.

During the shoot of Raabta

Bollywood films are a lot about song and dance, which must be a completely different concept for you. What approach did you follow?

That was the difficult part as I don’t do music videos much. But Dino and Homi (Adajania, Co-Producer) were a great help in this as they made the songs into integral parts of the story, so I could relate to them. It was different from what I’ve seen in Bollywood movies, when suddenly the main character travels in one frame from India to Iceland and you don’t understand why they are there, as it doesn’t have any connection with the story. So, songs that illustrate what is happening in a movie is something I could work with. When we shot ‘Sadda Move’ in Amritsar, I must say that Ahmed Khan (Choreographer) saved me. That part of the shoot was really crazy for me, and basically all the credit for what you see goes to him. I merely supervised it. Ahmed Khan is such a great Cinematographer so I didn’t change much, as it was already great. 

Which camera and lens kit did you use and why? Which other key equipment has been used in the film?

We used mainly two Alexas XTs with Hawk V-Lite Anamorphic lenses from Vantage Prague. I must say a big thanks to the producers of Raabta who believed me when I said that we would need those lenses to tell the story correctly and to get this equipment from Europe, as apparently they were the most expensive lenses ever used in a Bollywood movie. We had the full package, not just a few lenses. I chose those great lenses as we agreed to shoot in a classical anamorphic 1:2.35 ratio. The lenses have great color and feel. I tested almost seven sets of different lenses thanks to Vantage’s manager Jindrich Cipera, who provided this ability to choose the right lens for this project.

As it was mainly a romantic story, I wanted smooth skin tones, warmer feel and almost dreamy edges. Anamorphic gives you specific bokeh and beautiful flares. And all these “flaws” make the picture stand out. I’m not a big fan of a “clean” picture. I’m always trying to bend it somehow for the purpose of the story. For the underwater sequences, we used Mini with Zeiss Primes, as that was the only combo we could fit to the housing. Well actually we had two housings, so some shots are made underwater on Hawks as well.

I learned a lot on this shoot. I’m a dive-master and I shot underwater, but this experience pushed the envelope much further for me. It was a challenging four days and I admire the actors, who went from never diving before to doing it so amazingly. We used RED Epic as well for some “C” camera shots and various Drones. We went from big heavy ones to DJI Inspire to my personal DJI Mavic.

How much of VFX assistance was employed in the film? Which parts has VFX largely been used for?

That’s probably a question for my good friend Jaykar Arudra, who is the VFX supervisor. There are a lot blue screen shots, even when we went to shoot the period part in Mauritius. There’s always something you need to avoid. So the use of VFX is necessary. Basically we mostly used it for background swap. We needed big waterfalls, which we couldn’t get to in Mauritius, so that’s one swap. Then an edge of a high cliff forest etc. So the crew built some enormous blue screens (so far the biggest I’ve worked with). But I had a good experience with VFX work so I hope it was easy for Jaykar as well.

  And what kind of an experience was it to work with Dinesh Vijan as he is a debutant director?

We say we are like brothers. We have similar taste and similar history. It was a great collaboration. He has thousands of ideas and is a very good producer. To be a director and a producer on set is very difficult, as sometimes what you need to do goes against the other’s goals. He was very generous and we had lots of fun on set.

Did you watch any Bollywood films before shooting Raabta. Any movies you saw for reference?

No, I didn’t want to be influenced with the standard style of Bollywood. Basically I want to find my own style after I read a script. I watch so many films in a year— almost one each day so I have a lot of references in my head. I’ve seen all of the 250 top films on IMDB and many more and I recommend every filmmaking student to do that. But as I said above, I don’t copy, at least consciously.

How would you sum up your experience of shooting in India?

It was a growing experience. India is an amazing country with wonderful people and I learned a lot about life, filmmaking, creativity and more. I would not change this experience for anything else. It was a blast. And I became a bit more humble I hope. I also learned to live more in the present day. We Westerners tend to worry about the future and past. I think you (Indians) cope much better with it than we do, so that was excellent. I also found new friends, Homi Adajania is my cup of tea and I enjoyed every second with him on and off set. I would love to do a film with him. I became friends with many great co-workers like our first AD Siddharta Luther, my AC Bobby and the DIT guys Viki Vivek and Tanmay Kant.

With Director Dinesh Vijan

While working on the film, which areas did you feel that Indian films need to focus more on?

There would be plenty. But that is everywhere. It always seems to me, from the little I have seen in Bollywood cinema, that the woman characters and overall story is bit mono-thematic. An orphaned girl, a boy that loves her and a villain with lots of songs. The woman characters look like they are in control of the story, but they are not at all. The man rules. Not many Indian films would pass the Bechdel test. But as I said, I might have seen the 250 top IMDB films, but I’m a complete novice to Indian cinema. I’ve seen some, but not enough to really make an argument point. On the other hand, some business ethics could be straightened and made more transparent and trustworthy

You have received various awards at international film festivals. Raabta happens to be a commercial film but would you also like to explore non-commercial Indian Indie films?

I would love to. I’ve seen some interesting independent films from India. The official Oscar nomination for 2016 Visaranai was a film I saw here in Los Angeles and I liked it a lot. It was well-built and the characters were interesting. I would be interested in a strong drama script.

Telling the story is same almost everywhere - Martin Preiss Los Angeles-based internationally acclaimed Cinematographer Martin Preiss is a product of Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU) in Prague.
