WEEK OF LIFE INTERVIEWS

In this section we will introduce you to distinguished individuals who share a close
relation to the ideals behind this documentary project.

Jan Saudek 04.11.2010 More

	To people who live for photography, especially artistic photography, there is no need to introduce living legend of world photography, Jan Saudek. We strove for this interview while still putting together the first issue of the Week of Life magazine.But with Jan, it is like with a king. You need to wait patiently for his servants to let you know he is expecting you at a given time and place.
	Be five minutes late and the door is already closed. None other than Adolf Zika, who has filmed a successful feature length documentary film about Jan Saudek (awarded the Glass Eye Award in Montreal) did this interview, the founder of week of Life. The 75-year old charismatic and well-respected artist was in a good mood, enjoying life to the fullest. Rightfully so, since only a few days earlier, he found out that his incurable illness, feared by the doctors, had somehow disappeared. Perhaps it was frightened of Jan's athletic and well-built body, letting him enjoy life for some time to come. Jan Saudek is among the most significant Czech individuals whom the United States helped get to the top. Come and hear his thoughts and ideas regarding today's information age.

Patrik Elias 30.08.2010 More

	For section WoL Interviews’ historic first interview we feature Patrik Elias, all-time leading scorer for the New Jersey Devils. The parallels between him and the Week of Life Project aren’t simply a shared origin in the Czech Republic and current success in the US, but also a mutual interest in the well being of others as exemplified by Elias’ activities with UNICEF.
