Hostivař Studios

Jan Antonín Baťa rented the studios in 1937 with a plan to make feature films.

However, the plan was never realized, because in 1939 the World War II broke out and Baťa left the country.

Some movies shot during the war were Grandmother, Muzikantská Liduška, Pantáta Bezoušek or Turbina.

Following the war, the studios stayed part of the Barrandov company in the nationalised Czechoslovak film industry.

[2] In the post-war era films like Journey to the Beginning of Time, Higher Principle, The End of Agent W4C or Ecce homo Homolka were shot here.
