Adam Kovář

Adam’s work centers on commercial and narrative filmmaking. Through the camera, he approaches each project with sensitivity, aiming to support the story and develop a visual language that deepens both its meaning and emotional impact. He began his career working on documentary projects and music videos within the cycling scene, producing work across Europe, North and South America, and New Zealand in collaboration with leading international athletes. This experience shaped his sense of authenticity and strengthened his ability to operate in dynamic, fast-changing environments. Adam has also collaborated with the Japanese-British immersive art collective A.A. Murakami, creating films presented as part of gallery installations in international contexts, including Houston and Times Square in New York. Adam is also a Cinematography graduate at FAMU. His short film Nečakaj ma už nikdy earned the Grand Prix for Best Cinematography at the Ostrava Kamera Oko festival. Poslední den Kamila Krofty received multiple festival awards, including a win at the Prague Short Film Festival. The music video Viktor Sheen – Syndrom was shortlisted for the Anděl Awards.

FILIPŮV DĚDA . Eugen Liška was a Czech writer and playwright, but not only that — he was mainly Filip’s grandfather. A grandfather he never got to know. That’s why he dives into the past and, with the help of his family’s memories, stages a living collage of his grandfather’s legacy. We are glad that our short documentary film won the Audience Award at @famufest_official .
