Eduard Hrubeš’s father was an opera baritone at the Janáček Opera in Brno and wanted to have a diplomat from his descendants, so he tried to develop his language education. Among other things, he put his son at a French grammar school.
But he left the diplomat’s path. After completing his university studies at the Faculty of Forestry and the War, Eduard Hrubeš decided to devote himself to film.
He studied film and television journalism at FAMU and in 1967 began working in the Army Department of Czechoslovak Television. During the normalization, however, he left ČST and instead of shooting documentaries, he gave conferences at concerts by orchestras by Václav Hybš and Ladislav Štaidl, KTO and Kometa.
