  • Ludmila Zeman (born 23 April 1947) is a Czech–Canadian artist, animator, and creator of children's books. She is the daughter of filmmaker Karel Zeman. Zeman was born in the Moravian Czech city of Zlín (renamed Gottwaldov in 1949, through 1989). She graduated from the college of art (Střední uměleckoprůmyslová škola) in Uherské Hradiště. She worked as her father's assistant for his final films, and married Eugen Spálený, the chief animator at his studio. They had two children, Linda and Malvinia. She launched a career in story books and animation for children. In 1983, Zeman and her husband were invited to teach film technique at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver. When the couple attempted to emigrate, the Czechoslovakian communist government refused them permission, accusing them of pro-Western leanings. Zeman was told to leave the animation studio, and Spálený was drafted into menial construction work. In the summer of 1984, the family escaped through Yugoslavia to a refugee camp in Austria, finally arriving in Canada to accept the teaching posts. The Cedar Tree of Life, a thirty-second animated segment the couple produced for the Canadian edition of Sesame Street, attracted the attention of the National Film Board of Canada, which invited the couple to make a short film on a topic of their choice. Zeman's production was Lord of the Sky, based on myths of the Canadian north Pacific First Nations and produced using paper cutouts. The film was a success, winning eleven international awards, including a blue ribbon at the American Film Festival in 1993; it was shown at the Sundance Film Festival the following year and was shortlisted for an Academy Award nomination. Following Lord of the Sky, Zeman and Spálený planned a feature-length animated film based on the Epic of Gilgamesh. Karel Zeman had introduced the epic, which was among his favorite books, to Ludmila when she was eleven. The concept was eventually developed into a trilogy of children's books written and illustrated by Zeman: Gilgamesh the King (1991), The Revenge of Ishtar (1993), and The Last Quest of Gilgamesh (1995). The final book in the trilogy won the 1995 Governor General's Award for Children's Illustration. The Embassy of Canada in Japan presented an exhibition of Ludmila Zeman's work in Tokyo in 2011. (en)
  • Ludmila Zeman (Zlín, 23 aprile 1947) è una produttrice cinematografica e animatrice ceca naturalizzata canadese.È la figlia del regista Karel Zeman. Si è laureata presso il collegio d'arte di Uherské Hradiště. Ha lavorato come assistente di suo padre per i suoi ultimi film e ha sposato Eugen Spálený, animatore principale del suo studio. Hanno avuto due figlie, Linda e Malvinia, e ha intrapreso la carriera di scrittrice di fiabe e di cartonista per bambini. Nel 1983 insieme a suo marito fu invitata ad insegnare tecnica cinematografica alla Emily Carr University of Art and Design di Vancouver. Quando la coppia tentò di emigrare, il governo comunista cecoslovacco rifiutò loro il permesso, accusandoli di avere tendenze filo-occidentali. Nell'estate del 1984 la famiglia fuggì attraverso la Jugoslavia in un campo profughi in Austria, arrivando infine in Canada. The Cedar Tree of Life, un segmento animato di trenta secondi prodotto dalla coppia per l'edizione canadese di Sesame Street, attirò l'attenzione del National Film Board of Canada, che invitò la coppia a realizzare un cortometraggio su un argomento a loro scelta. Il film Lord of the Sky basato sui miti delle prime nazioni canadesi del Nord Pacifico e prodotto utilizzando ritagli di carta vinse undici premi internazionali, tra cui un nastro blu all'American Film Festival nel 1993. Inoltre fu presentato al Sundance Film Festival l'anno successivo e fu selezionato per una nomination al Premio Oscar. Dopo Lord of the Sky, Zeman e Spálený hanno prodotto un lungometraggio animato basato su l'Epopea di Gilgamesh. Karel Zeman aveva presentato l'epopea, che era tra i suoi libri preferiti, a Ludmila quando aveva undici anni. Il concetto è stato infine sviluppato in una trilogia di libri per bambini scritti e illustrati da Zeman: Gilgamesh the King (1991), The Revenge of Ishtar (1993) e The Last Quest of Gilgamesh (1995). L'ultimo libro della trilogia ha vinto il Premio del Governatore Generale del 1995 per l'illustrazione dei bambini. L'Ambasciata del Canada in Giappone ha presentato una mostra del lavoro di Ludmila Zeman a Tokyo nel 2011. (it)
