Biography:

Matouš Felkel has established himself in the film industry primarily as an editor. His interest in audiovisual arts dates back to his childhood, when he was also involved in animation. His short animated film "Chameleon" from that time scored successfully in competitions, receiving honorable mentions at the Zlaté slunce and Juniorfilm festivals in 2017. Although it took him some time to find his creative direction, he soon discovered his greatest passion in film editing. He began shaping his technical and creative skills at the Secondary School of Communication Technology in Prague, where he studied Film and Television Production. He concluded his high school studies at SPŠST Panská with his graduation film "Vzduchoprázdno". He is currently furthering his education at Tomas Bata University in Zlín (UTB), studying film editing. As part of university productions, he has worked on important films such as "Narodit se" and "Oblivion". The film "Narodit se" was also presented at the Rychnovská osmička competitive festival. He achieved further competitive success with his own documentary "Tiché údolí v čase" (2023), participating in the national film showcase České vize. An important part of his work in the audiovisual field is his active support for independent and student filmmaking. Realizing that it is difficult for emerging filmmakers to get their work to a wider audience, he became an integral part of the organizing team for the FOFR film festival. Here, he is in charge of editing and technical aspects, helping to create an event that provides a platform for short films and connects them into a meaningful whole that is well worth experiencing in a cinema. He is also a key member of the Memoria artis creative group, where he handles editing and post-production. The group's works are available to viewers on platforms such as Stream.cz. His significant works within this production include the film "Diptych", the drama "Láska nalezena" (which was screened at the 2025 České vize national film showcase), and, most notably, the documentary film "Ulita", which was broadcast on Czech Television.
