Emil Radok

Emil Radok (May, 22 1918 – January, 7 1994) was a Czech film director. He was co-inventor of the multi-media show Laterna Magika, [http://www.teatroeuropeo.it/en/prog_laterna.php] , which was a star attraction at the Czechoslovakia pavilion at Expo 67. [http://www.ottawasun.com/News/Columnists/MacAdam_Pat/2007/07/01/4304220-sun.html] [http://www.mtl-art.com/site/words/prose_safdie.html] In 1968 he left to exile to Canada and died there.

Perhaps Radok's most monumental project was his "kinetic mosaic" which he designed together with WED Enterprises for the Universe of Energy pavilion at EPCOT Center in 1982. This was a dynamic film that employed more than 100 rotating triangular panels controlled by a computer to produce three-dimensional images. The "kinetic mosaic" today no longer exists, having been replaced by five conventional film screens.

In 1987, he received the Canadian Special Achievement Genie Award for the film "Taming of the Demons", which played primarily at Vancouver's Expo '86.

His older brother and collaborater was Alfréd Radok (1914 – 1976).
