PhDr. Michal Bregant

Director General, National Film Archive Prague
a FIAF member archive

"The National Film Archive has worked with Tomáš Vyšinský for years, to the satisfaction of participants in our Film Projection Course. Together we are working not only to preserve the projectionist trade but to develop it, in both its classic and digital dimensions. We consider his e-learning platform an excellent means of acquiring the complete technical knowledge that no projectionist can do without. The scope of the course covers every specific aspect of this profession and enables its graduates to grow professionally."

Mgr. Michal Kratochvíl

Head of Technology Division, Czech Television
the national public broadcaster

"The Promítačský kurz e-learning platform gives its participants a complete technical education, opening the way to work as a projectionist and to more advanced courses such as the Film Projection Course at the National Film Archive. Graduates become qualified specialists in film projection, and their expertise is also drawn on for digitisation work — transferring classic film material into digital form, and so helping to preserve valuable cultural heritage such as the Czech Television archive."

Ondřej Šejnoha, DiS

Head of Studio FAMU
Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague

"The projectionist course and its e-learning version open the way not only to solid technical education and an understanding of what it takes to deliver good digital and film screenings, but also to more advanced courses such as the Film Projection Course at the National Film Archive. Graduates become important partners to cinema operators and to institutions requiring specific skills in handling film material within research projects — as, for example, at the Academy of Performing Arts and Studio FAMU, where reference projection is used for identifying nitrate prints and for other work in the care of film heritage."
