Filmofi lné reprezentácie národa v slovenskom filme po roku 1989
Filmophilic Representations of Nation in Slovak Film Aft er 1989

Summary/Abstract: This text is pointing out the vagueness of the national identity concept in contemporary Slovak cinema as well as the uneasiness arising from the emerging requirements of the EU integration, to set ourselves free from the ominous traumas of a „small nations“ and to find ways to other forms of presentations of collective identities. It compares especially the development of subjects of Martin Šulik films with the contemporary situation in Slovak fiction film and gradual prefering of documentary film that is now considered a far more cogent medium to represent national identity (which corresponds with moving from Šulik´s former style to the social Czech-and- Slovak drama The City of the Sun, 2005).
