‘Hermína Týrlová. The hands that dream’

Cinema. You’ll be able to see a number of short films that use a variety of both traditional and experimental animation techniques.

The Czech illustrator, animator, scriptwriter and film director Hermína Týrlová (1900-1993) is one of the key figures from the “Golden Era of Czech animation” which began after the Second World War.

A pioneer of animation, Týrlová started her prolific career of almost 60 years in the world of advertising and book illustration and soon after developed a variety of both traditional and experimental animation techniques, animating drawings, doing cut-out animation, making stop-motion animations with puppets and figures and fusing them with real images.

Despite her popularity, she is not well-known outside her home country and her films have been overlooked by historiography, which have restricted her to the context of family cinema.

Her animation was based on the gentleness and softness of the fabrics and hand-made, homely, soft-toy objects she used, a friendly world that helped to combat fears and losses. This approach makes her work very child-friendly but it also exemplifies an alternative feminist pointy of view: her capacity to dream up a different way of organising the domestic sphere, contrasting with the traditions of control, reveals the poetry of every objects, and the curative nature of arts and crafts.
