The film started out as the graduation work of student Jindřich Andrš – but still managed to win the national Czech Joy award at the recent Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival. I spoke to the director, who is in his mid 20s, about the experience of making the ultimately uplifting A New Shift at our studios last week. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/7a2b7310deefd443f81edf00ff26feaf.jpg?timestamp=1605526309 Maker of miner retraining doc: We had to learn Baník songs to blend in with fans https://english.radio.cz/maker-miner-retraining-doc-we-had-learn-banik-songs-blend-fans-8700291 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
