Synopsis

When, late in life, Cimrman was reflecting on his artistic activity, he came to a disheartening realization: none of the works he had signed were recognized. He therefore decided to retreat into the anonymity of authorship and become part of folklore. He clairvoyantly recognized that the modern era was marked by the extinction of folk creativity in areas such as the national song, story, legend, proverb, or weather lore. The only element of oral folklore that would die and remain alive is an anecdote. And this plays a significant role in his play *Lijavec*.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
