| Description | This paper examines the efforts of Czechoslovak government to restore diplomatic relations through the screening of short nonfiction films at its foreign embassies. It examines ambassadorial screenings as a special kind on non-theatrical film practice and discusses it both in the context of strained political relations at the time of Cold War’s overture, and in the context of post-war vision of peace-building dissemination of information. |
