Vít Pancíř (b. 1966, Prague) studied animation under Jiří Barta at Prague's Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design and worked as an animator. Since 1992, however, he has been chiefly focusing on his own special brand of experimental film involving a combination of various techniques, in particular, animation in conjunction with real footage. He has often used the music of Filip Topol, for whose band Psí vojáci [Dog Soldiers] he created several video clips. Filmography: In the Wind (1997 – Oberhausen IFF, 2000, (Experi) Mental Films from Prague, showcase – New York, 2000), Family Chronicles (1999), screened at a number of international festivals and sent into Czech distribution, Into the Rowanberries (2001), Mare Mare (2004), Dog on Snow (2003), Zdenek's Chair (2005), Island Hedvika (2007). His films were shown at the Rotterdam IFF in 2007 and at Prague's Febiofest in 2004. Sister is his feature debut.
