The idea behind the Restoring the World of Fantasy project is to support the digital restoration of three films from the golden fund of Czech cinematography produced by Karel Zeman. The Czech Film Foundation is working closely with the Karel Zeman Museum and Czech Television on this project. Thanks to the active involvement of all three parties working on the project, it has developed beyond its original objective and given rise to a number of overlapping activities in areas such as education or the promotion of Czech filmmaking abroad.
"It is amazing that today's technologies enable restored and preserve any form of artistic works of the world that it will shine again and bring aesthetic and artistic experience to people, as their originals brought many years ago. Therefore I strongly support the project Restoring the World of Fantasy, because the famous films of my father belong among world artworks."

"The Fabulous World of Jules Verne, The Fabulous Baron Munchausen and Journey to the Beginning of Time are colored stylized artwork, which is an original fantasy of the artist. That is why it will not be easy to restore and digital restore it in the quality that will be identical to the original work of Karel Zeman. If we manage this it will be an amazing act of preservation and transmission of art for future generations. It is similar to discovering a rare old painting, which is restored by experts and then exhibited in museums worldwide."
"Movies of my father Karel Zeman represent the originality and imagination of Czech artist and belong among the world's artworks. It is important to ensure that one day, his work will not be lost. Therefore, I support the project " Restoring the World of Fantasy!"
