Monastery

Jiří Dvorský / Czechoslovakia / 1985 / The film already had its Czech Premiere / 4 min.


synopsis

In the form of a visual poem, Monastery captures the decay of the abandoned Augustinian Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary in the village of Klášter in the Domažlice region. In the 1980s, it was well received at amateur film festivals as a testament to the neglect and deterioration of historical monuments.
