His first feature, Divoké vcely (2001) (Wild Bees), the portrait of a Moravian village and its quirky inhabitants, was distinguished by no fewer than ten international prizes. Four years later, the sensitive chronicle of a group of friends in a drab industrial town, made Something Like Happiness (2005) another prizewinner. Beautiful too was Country Teacher (2008), the story of a teacher from Prague who decides to teach in the country. A name to remember, Bohdan Sláma is one of the major talents of the Czech cinema.
