Detailed Information on Publication Record

Until the mid-1960s radio documentaries were not very developed - although most countries were creating some. Radio stations around the world didn´t know about each other. The Big Bang in the history of radio documentaries came in the year 1974 when three program editors Peter Leonhard Braun, Ake Blömstrom and Andries Poppe had a discussion about the importance of connecting the world of documentary producers – so everyone would have the possibility to learn from colleagues from other countries. The idea of international cooperation led to the foundation of the non-competitive International Feature Conference (IFC) – an open forum for radio makers from all over the world where they can discuss their work, to learn from each other about different ways of storytelling (each country uses different tools) and to cooperate in a friendly and safe environment. On the IFC Reková met an American producer Dennis Funk and together they created a unique documentary – the first USA-Czech collaboration in this field. Based on interviews with relevant speakers and specialized literature Reková will present her significant study about the importance of international cooperation. She will also play excerpts from her work to show specifics of the translation, but also to prove that it is possible to work bilingually.
