　　自《世界》浮出水面后，以贾樟柯为代表的第六代导演终于走过混沌、镇痛的时期，开始迎来新的创作阶段。2006年，贾樟柯凭借《三峡好人》在第63届威尼斯电影节上勇夺金狮奖，全世界开始关注这个来自中国山西汾阳小县城的男人。法国青年导演戴米安·欧诺为其作品所感动，于是带领团队来华拍摄一部关于贾樟柯的纪录片。
　　适值此时，贾正忙于《三峡好人》和《东》的发行工作，镜头前，他仿佛更像一个操控全局的制片人，终日马不停蹄。在此之后，小贾及其团队、法国摄制组返回家乡汾阳，闲聊儿时的趣闻乐事、恳谈创作轨迹与初衷，并以这小小的县城为原点，共同感受中国这十年来的巨大变迁……

　　The 2-part feature-length documentary "25 ze šedesátých aneb Československá nová vlna" ("25 from the Sixties, or Czechoslovak New Wave") presents a complex view of the phenomenon of Czech and Slovak New Wave in the cultural and social context of the 60's. 25 fundamental films commented on by their makers and film historians offer the viewer a dramatic insight into the golden era of Czechoslovak cinema.
　　The documentary is a follow-up on the biographical TV series "Zlatá šedesátá" (Czech Television, 2009), based on the filmmakers' personal remembrances. As opposed to the series, the documentary presents the Czech and Slovak cinema of the 60's in the national, international and also inter-generational context. It describes the ways the New Wave crossed the existing artistic boundaries, how it variegated the world cinema and where it left an ineffaceable impression. It analyses the work of filmmakers in a state-funded cinema, under the pressure of ideological demands on one hand and commerce on the other. It presents the dilemma of a man - an artist - on the edge between contradictory social systems and incongruous aesthetic requirements. The existential drama of a man acting freely and at the same time mercilessly crushed by the wheels of the system.
　　The 60's are, from this point of view, mostly an era of fortunate historical constellation, not only in - at that time - Czechoslovakia, but on a world-wide scale. An era of expectations and upswing, but also an era of exemplary human decisions and artistic pursuit. Those are some of the things "25 ze šedesátých aneb Československá nová vlna" wants to commemorate.
