Otto Krivánek

Otakar Krivánek (1931, Levoča, Czechoslovakia – 1997, Bratislava, Slovakia) was a Slovak director and scriptwriter. Although he majored in stage directing at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, he soon began to shoot newsreels (in 1958) and later drifted toward documentary films. He co-authored The Time We Live In, a documentary that captures the democratisation process in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s. In the following decade, he delved into making fiction features, especially films for children and youngsters.
