Documentary
Eliška Junková, born in Olomouc, is among the first women in Czechoslovakia to earn a driving licence. After winning several European races, she competes in the famous Targa Florio in 1928, earning multiple awards. Following her husband's death at the Nürburgring, she ends her racing career, yet even in its brevity, joins Europe's elite. The portrait of Junková is made by the late director Rudolf Adler, a teacher of documentary filmmaking and author of the first textbooks on the subject, who headed FAMU's Department of Documentary Film from 1990 to 1994.
