I’m a documentary filmmaker and researcher.
Between 2016 and 2024, I lived in the UK — in London and Liverpool — where I studied, worked as an editor, and taught Film & Media Practice at the University of Kent. In 2024, I moved back to my hometown, Prague.
My first feature documentary, Another Summer (2024), co-directed with anthropologist David Edwards, explores the experiences of Afghan and Ukrainian refugees in Europe and has been screened at international festivals and academic venues. I’ve also made several short documentaries and experimental films that have screened at festivals and received nominations for awards, including the Pavel Koutecký Award for Best Czech Short Documentary and the Magnesia Award for Best Student Film.
In my work, I mainly focus on home, migration, identity, collaborative and participatory filmmaking, loneliness, and urban animals.
I hold a BA from FAMU’s Department of Documentary Film and a Master of Research from Liverpool John Moores University. In 2025, I completed my PhD in Film: Practice as Research at the University of Kent, with a project at the intersection of documentary film and anthropology, entitled Filming and Exploring Public, Private and Intangible Homes in London: Documentary and Domestic Spaces, focused on the meaning of home in London.
I work as a content creator for the Czech Alzheimer Foundation, and I have recently worked as an editor on the latest episode of the CzeXperiment series, Nenechám se nachytat (2025), which examines manipulation in pre-election campaigns among senior citizens.
