Register of Artistic Outputs
For reporting artistic outputs at the national level, the Faculty uses the Register of Artistic Outputs, which is the main statistical tool in the Czech Republic for reporting artistic creative activities. Academics and students report mainly in the Design, Fine Arts and Audiovisual segments.
Thanks to an established functioning data collection system and team of coordinators, Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of design and Art has demonstrated long-term high-quality performance compared to other schools with an artistic focus.

I'm Not Everything I Want To Be
I'm Not Everything I Want to Be is a portrait of world-renowned photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková. It captures her raw self-portraits and life on the fringes of socialist Czechoslovakia—from semi-legal gay clubs and night-shift workers to Vietnamese and Cuban immigrants. After escaping to West Berlin, she witnessed the fall of the Iron Curtain. Directed by Klára Tasovská, the film weaves thousands of photographs and diaries and was selected for Berlinale 2024 and the Karlovy Vary IFF.
Father's Letters
The short animated film Father’s Letters tells the tragic story of Professor Alexei Vangengheim, founder of the Soviet Meteorological Service, who was arrested in 1934 and sent to a gulag. To shield his daughter Elye from the harsh truth, he wrote letters portraying his imprisonment as a scientific expedition. Yet, as she grew older, the illusion slowly faded, and reality became inevitable. In 2024, the film received awards at international festivals.
