| Description | The essay researched on a changing attitude of the Czech audience to film distribution and asked the question on reasons and conditions of rising attendance on the German popular genre production. The case study on the Brno audiences reveals that visiting theatres which were screening German movies was perceived not as an act of collaboration or resignation, but as one of types of behaviour which helped to define national identity. While during the first period of the Protectorate till 1941, the register of “Czech behaviour” included visiting Czech movies and avoiding German production, this model was changing during the following years and some of the Reich´s movies were “adopted” into the “Czech behaviour” through their non-German stars. |
