	Throughout the 1980s, the term "Praška škola" was associated with many successful films, popular with critics, as well as the general public. Seven out of ten Golden Arena for Best Director awards from 1976 to 1986 went to the "Praška škola", with each member except for Marković receiving at least one. The success of two-time Palme d'Or winner Emir Kusturica, who attended FAMU several years after the other members of the "Praška škola", further boosted the academy's reputation in field of Yugoslav cinema.
