Mr Arn's Treasure Poklad pana Arna
20 minutes, 35 mm, colour, 1967 Classical cartoon animation Audience: family Commentary: off screen Producer: KF a.s. - Studio Bratri v triku Director: Vaclav Bedrich Designer: Adolf Born
Film adaptation of a ballad story by Selma Lagerlöf, the first woman whose work was awarded the Nobel Prize. The main theme is the strength of a clear conscience and the vain longing to break ones destiny circle. The character who represents the conflict is the young Elsallil. The unusual form of a (folding) pop-up picture book reflects the features and atmosphere of a Nordic saga of guilt that cannot be undone.
