Hogwarts Melee
Annotation

Adina Šulcová is the director and screenwriter of the cult DIY shorts Prayer for Briana and Girls Full of Shit Conspiracy. Her films provoke, entertain, and raise multiple questions. Girls Full of Shit Conspiracy, nominated for the Czech Film Critics’ Awards in 2023, is characterized by blasphemous, occasionally fecal humor, a spontaneous punk aesthetic, and characters possessing “assholery” and humanity in equal measure.

She is also the author of the popular play Shrex: A Game of Survival.

During her time at AVU, Šulcová initially studied painting and subsequently formed a creative duo with Matěj Čech (Musician Mat213, Swag Podcast), with whom she has from the start shared a similar sense of humor and a common interest in creating „content“ for Gen Z. She has also shot several music videos for Matěj. Together, they have both contributed to the animated series Eastfield, and they are currently collaborators on the satirical comedy show Podcast Swag on GoOut. The post-ironic Swag also features the original Hogwarts Melee, which is part of her graduation work.

Hogwarts Melee is a Harry Potter parody inspired by Potterheadism, a phenomenon that has a high potential to generate annoyance. Potterheads are hardcore fans of the the Harry Potter books and films. The Potterhead label is often associated with Millennials, a generalization that inspired Šulcová to create a post-ironic Gen Z parody of various unwittingly „cringy“ Millennial-themed Harry Potter comedy videos. In her parody, she works with classic audiovisual techniques (editing, etc.) while building on her previous work, which opened the door for her to work in television.
