Linda Kallistová Jablonská was born in 1979 in Prague, Czech Republic. She is a graduate of the Film and TV Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU). Her diploma film Kupředu levá, kupředu pravá (Left, Right, Forward!) received theatrical distribution and notable audience recognition.

She works primarily with Czech Television, directing episodes of documentary and current affairs series. Her filmography includes Vítejte v KLDR (Welcome to North Korea!) and Horko v Česku (Heat in the Czech Republic), a documentary focused on public debate around the impacts of global climate change.

This collaboration resulted in the documentary Pozemšťané, koho budete volit? (Earthlings, Who Are You Voting For?), filmed by people living with mental difficulties.

Welcome to North Korea! (2009, 72 minutes) was screened at festivals including Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival, Jihlava International Documentary Film Festival, and received the Audience Award at the One World International Film Festival.
