Autism – Boreš, Ferat and Mr. Theodor
Theodor Pištěk made Porsche cars famous in the Czech Republic owing to his excellent hyperrealistic paintings from the 1970ies. We invited him for a ride in the latest model of the car and to visit the famous Ferat and Ferdinand Porsche’s birhplace. According to the mayor of Vratislavice, the name of the famous car designer comes suprisingly from the Czech name Boreš, and Mr. Pištěk countered by revealing his passion for cars and speed.
Autism is a new format of short films about motoring, art and broader cultural and civilizational context prepared by the authorial trio Hynek Alt, Pavel Vančát and Jan Vidlička in a co-operation with Artyčok.tv. Pilot series of short-footage profiles of artists and cars related to them aim to conceive a car as a personification of an individuality and self-projection. First three episodes also show interesting cultural personalities in unusual situations and answers. Starring: Theodor Pištěk,Olgoj Chorchoj, Jasanský/Polák, Vladimír 518.

- Ferdinand Porsche´s exposition, Vratislavice nad Nisou00:00:43.308
- 00:00:43.308
- They are great cars, Ferrari...00:00:46.505
- 00:00:46.505
- For me, it is a matter of heart.00:00:53.342
- 00:00:53.342
- If you take me to a car showroom, and if I could choose, it will always be a Porsche,00:00:56.979
- 00:00:56.979
- because a Porsche is the car for men.00:01:03.395
- 00:01:03.395
- Here it would be good to look at the motor.00:01:06.467
- 00:01:06.467
- It looks like a Škoda, but, if you turn it on...00:01:12.099
- 00:01:12.099
- For me, cars were like marihuana,00:01:22.083
- 00:01:22.083
- it is something so specific, for me it was a kind of relaxation,00:01:25.894
- 00:01:25.894
- I was shut in my studio, or working hard in Barandov studios.00:01:32.321
- 00:01:32.321
- Races are drugs for me.00:01:40.983
- 00:01:40.983
- I´d like to ask what kind of cars you were racing in.00:01:48.788
- 00:01:48.788
- In anything.00:01:51.984
- 00:01:51.984
- And in a Porsche?00:01:53.811
- 00:01:53.811
- I have driven a Porsche thousand times,00:01:55.813
- 00:01:55.813
- but I have never raced a Porsche.00:01:58.357
- 00:01:58.357
- I raced a Saab, Toyota, and a Škoda, of course.00:02:01.282
- 00:02:01.282
- I´ve been thinking of starting racing as well.00:02:09.440
- 00:02:09.440
- There were many great female racers.00:02:12.639
- 00:02:12.639
- Even men could hardly beat them.00:02:15.920
- 00:02:15.920
- Dear sports viewers,00:02:19.629
- 00:02:19.629
- don´t try to imitate what you can see here on this closed circuit.00:02:21.517
- 00:02:21.517
- The number of car accidents here, in Europe, and in the whole world are alarming.00:02:26.117
- 00:02:26.117
- People are not used to speeding.00:02:32.487
- 00:02:32.487
- They used to have cars such as a Žigulík, and a Wartburg.00:02:36.251
- 00:02:36.251
- Now we have just passed a car mart,00:02:43.276
- 00:02:43.276
- now anybody can buy a Maserati, Porsche, and a BMW.00:02:47.409
- 00:02:47.409
- A man gets in a car, and he doesn´t know what to do.00:02:54.417
- 00:02:54.417
- Say Porsche, I always imagine a sports car, a super sports car,00:03:11.818
- 00:03:11.818
- and, to tell the truth, I´d say it is the best sports car.00:03:16.978
- 00:03:16.978
- Say a sports car, I always imagine Porsche.00:03:20.339
- 00:03:20.339
- Naturally, there are other cars which are interesting, but00:03:27.068
- 00:03:27.068
- a Porsche is a Porsche.00:03:28.712
- 00:03:28.712
- What I like about Porsche is that you can drive it to your work,00:03:57.824
- 00:03:57.824
- and you can race in it, that is why it is so exceptional.00:04:02.765
- 00:04:02.765
- It is great!00:04:41.342
- 00:04:41.342
- Are you taking pictures?00:04:47.026
- 00:04:47.026
- It is an Italian guy.00:04:51.225
- 00:04:51.225
- Yes.00:04:53.361
- 00:04:53.361
- They are the best guys to be friends with.00:04:54.704
- 00:04:54.704
- It means a lot, not only for Vratislavice,00:05:04.768
- 00:05:04.768
- but for the whole Czech republic.00:05:07.876
- 00:05:07.876
- Mr Porsche was born here, even though most of his life he didn´t live here.00:05:10.866
- 00:05:10.866
- He went to school here, he started constructing cars for the first time.00:05:17.304
- 00:05:17.304
- Mostly these cars drive a man, not the opposite.00:05:34.291
- 00:05:34.291
- They have such a power that only a few F1 drivers can drive them.00:05:39.274
- 00:05:39.274
- The metaphor with a Ferat is not exaggerated.00:05:45.478
- 00:05:45.478
- The Ferat was nonsense.00:05:50.592
- 00:05:50.592
- It was a seriously meant concept that was not successful.00:06:08.586
- 00:06:08.586
- I think there is something missing, a honeycomb.00:06:11.522
- 00:06:11.522
- It is possible.00:06:14.978
- 00:06:14.978
- The wing looks horrible.00:06:18.146
- 00:06:18.146
- I´d say the back is not original, there was another light.00:06:22.396
- 00:06:22.396
- We can put it away.00:06:28.901
- 00:06:28.901
- These round lights were not there.00:06:30.556
- 00:06:30.556
- Please do not touch the exhibits.00:06:33.734
- 00:06:33.734
- Good morning.00:06:39.132
- 00:06:39.132
- I am glad to meet you.00:06:42.198
- 00:06:42.198
- I made an appointment with..00:06:44.446
- 00:06:44.446
- Do not lie!00:06:46.643
- 00:06:46.643
- He lies a lot, he is a liar, he is horrible.00:06:48.347
- 00:06:48.347
- Imagine having him home.00:06:55.125
- 00:06:55.125
- Who will guide us?00:07:03.601
- 00:07:03.601
- I think there are different things from the film,00:07:05.848
- 00:07:05.848
- for example, the back or the car was different,00:07:09.374
- 00:07:09.374
- the lights were different, behind the window there was a honeycomb.00:07:12.892
- 00:07:12.892
- Mr Pištěk, I was given the car00:07:19.189
- 00:07:19.189
- 00:07:19.189
- since then nobody has touched it.00:07:22.298
- 00:07:22.298
- You must have been at school fifteen years ago.00:07:25.436
- 00:07:25.436
- Thank you.00:07:28.623
- 00:07:28.623
- It was funny, because it was supposed to go fast,00:07:35.555
- 00:07:35.555
- but it did not go at all.00:07:39.836
- 00:07:39.836
- I know that Mr Fousek could drive it, but nobody else could do so...00:07:42.181
- 00:07:42.181
- So he put the wig as Veškrnová.00:07:47.329
- 00:07:47.329
- It was maximum wih respect to the years and my possibilities.00:07:53.028
- 00:07:53.028
- What are you feeling now, is there any nostalgia for the future?00:08:00.800
- 00:08:00.800
- You could feel nostalgia only for the past, for youth.00:08:04.797
- 00:08:04.797
- Yes, but, at that time it was the future.00:08:08.166
- 00:08:08.166
- At that time the imaginations of future were limited.00:08:12.065
- 00:08:12.065
- What do you think, what can we expect in the year 2520?00:08:14.571
- 00:08:14.571
- I don´t know, I just know there is an urn grove waiting for me.00:08:18.270
- 00:08:18.270
- For all of us.00:08:20.975
- 00:08:20.975
- You could paint a picture, a Porsche.00:08:23.982
- 00:08:23.982
- Give me a canvas. And I will do it.00:08:26.510
- 00:08:26.510
- What do you focus on now?00:08:28.889
- 00:08:28.889
- I know you made costumes a lot.00:08:30.761
- 00:08:30.761
- I mainly focus on women...00:08:33.207
- 00:08:33.207
- I see...00:08:34.730
- 00:08:34.730
- My heart beats only in case of Porsches.00:08:39.455
- 00:08:39.455
- It is not so cheap...00:08:42.101
- 00:08:42.101
- It wasn´t designed to possess the features00:08:44.316
- 00:08:44.316
- that attract hairdressers, and hockey players´mistresses.00:08:47.484
- 00:08:47.484
- This car doesn´t pretend anything, it has character and everything.00:08:53.075
- 00:08:53.075
- Driving it you can satisfy all your desires.00:08:59.497
- 00:08:59.497
- Thank you for the shooting.00:09:15.718
- 00:09:15.718

- 00:09:20.077
- The mirror is destroyed.00:09:24.567
- 00:09:24.567
- What have you done with it?00:09:26.424
- 00:09:26.424
- You better not entrust yourself to him.00:09:41.931
- 00:09:41.931
- Exactly, that is a disaster!00:09:44.407
