Viktor Tauš (1973) is a Czech director, producer, and actor who has created films that have achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success. He began making films as a documentarian in the 1990s while studying at the Film and Television School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. In 1999, Viktor Tauš released his debut feature film “Kanarék” – an autobiographical story about his drug addiction. Although the film received positive reviews, it did not achieve box office success. However, his second film, released in 2008, was a successful sequel to Karel Smyczek’s 1983 teen comedy “Snezenky a machri”. The tragicomedy “Clownwise” (2013), was nominated for eight Czech Lion awards by the Czech Film Academy. Tauš has made over 20 films and has successfully produced films for other directors as well.
