Vít Kanyza (CZE)

Photographer, videographer, passionate traveler

 

Vít joins the field of multimedia technology because of two hobbies — photography and working with video.

 

From his first year at school, he impressed by the unconventional concept of contrast in his black-and-white photographs, the images led him to the camera. Among other things, he participated in a feature-length documentary film about the astrophysicist Jiří Grygar (2018), his bachelor's graduation film Road to Canarias was awarded third place by the jury of the 15th International Outdoor Film Festival (in the Water Adventure and Adrenaline Sports category), due to the documentary One Day in Haiti he worked as a volunteer for a month in this poorest country of the Western Hemisphere.
While studying for a follow-up master's degree in Audiovisual Creation, he filmed the fight to save loris in Sumatra with director Ondřej Smékal. Even in his life as a graduate, Vít continues to successfully combine his love for traveling with filmmaking (and Silesian University).
