Šumné stopy |
Šumná města is a Czech documentary series, broadcast during period 1995–2008 by Czech Television. It is about the modern architecture of Czech cities. The author and director was Radovan Lipus, with whom David Vávra, who accompanied the entire cycle as a commenting architect, did not get along on the script.
In 1995 and 1996, separate documentaries Šumná Ostrava, Šumná Opava and Šumná Olomouc were filmed. In 1999, the project took the form of a television series, but in 2004, filming of the cycle was temporarily interrupted due to austerity measures at Czech Television. Filming was later continued and the entire cycle ended with the last 66th episode of Šumné Brno in 2008. The entire series was then followed by a similar cycle Šumná stopa, which focused on the work of Czech architects abroad. A shorter bonus episode Šumná Šumná, which parodied the cycle by filming in the village of Šumná, also appeared on the screens of Czech Television.
