Pavel Juráček (Czech: [ˈpavɛl ˈjuraːtʃɛk]; 2 August 1935 – 20 May 1989) was a Czech screenwriter and film director who studied at FAMU.[1] Juráček started as a screenwriter for many Czech New Wave movies until he became a director. He worked in Prague at the Barrandov film studios; however after his satirical movie Case for a Rookie Hangman (1970) was shelved, he was fired from Barrandov and wasn't allowed to make movies anymore.[2]
Education
Juráček studied alongside filmmakers like Věra Chytilová, director of Sedmikrásky (Daisies), while studying at FAMU. He assisted in revising Chytilová's script in order to gain approval from their professor, although she inevitably filmed her original script in defiance.[3]
