Description Marcela Pittermannová became a member of a creative group at Barrandov in 1961. After its previous head, Jan Procházka, was made persona non grata in 1970, the group was run by Ota Hofman until 1982, then by the writer Stanislav Rudolf from 1982 to 1984, and finally by Pittermannová until 1990. She was a dramaturge in the successful area of production for children for almost three decades. In effect, an analysis of her position, decisions, and negotiations in relation to both the indigenous bureaucracy and to foreign coproduction partners can help to understand dynamics of the structure-agency relationship at Barrandov since the 1960s to the end of state-socialist era. This chapter focuses on the role of clients, patrons, and brokers in the dramaturgical job to understand its dynamics and functions in the production system.
