Happy Dox presents Naked Nation, a new documentary by Filip Remunda, inspired by Boris Dežulović’s text

Naked Nation examines the relationship between Czech tourists and Croats and unmasks the stereotypes the Croats have about Czech visitors, and vice versa. It ironizes the standard view of the Czech and focuses on different Croatian clichés that have fixed the image of a typical Czech tourist: from the obligatory sunburn and classic styling (bermudas, rubber slides and white socks) to the usual stock of pate and the ammunition consisting of inflatable mattresses, portables ice boxes and other paraphernalia.

Besides, it similarly ironizes the world of Czech camps and summer entertainment programmes for Czech visitors. The film also covers the stereotypes the Czech have of the Croats as hosts, and it is inspired by Boris Dežulović’s text published in Jutarnji list about the frequent car accidents caused by Czech tourists, The Unlucky Good Tourist Švejk.

Fillip Remunda (1973) is a Czech director, cinematographer and producer. He graduated in documentary directing from the Prague FAMU, and he also attended the famous Sam Spiegel Film and TV School in Jerusalem. Fillip is a founding member of the Czech Documentary Film Institute, a key institution for the development and promotion of documentary film in Central and Eastern Europe. He made a name for himself with his provocative documentaries, such as Czech Dream and Czech Peace.
