The Oscar-nominated guest of Be there! Michaela  Pavlátová guides us through the secrets of animation from her own kitchen.

Her masterclass with the title "From my own kitchen" has an informal, but equally informative and essential way to guide us through her work.

  Michaela Pavlátová is an animation director from Czech Republic. Her films have received numerous awards at international film festivals, including an Oscar nomination for Reci, reci, reci / Words, words, words.

Film Repete has also won a series of awards including the Grand Prix at the International Animation Festival Hiroshima and Golden Bear in Berlin. Her last film Tram won, besides other awards, Annecy Crystal (France) in 2012.

The circle of her activities is wide, she directed two live action feature films and prepares another one but she still loves animation. She created animations for the theatre production in Prague and now works on her new animation film.
