Broken Windows

Daniel Pitin / Czech Republic / 2018 / World Premiere / 6 min.

synopsis

This audiovisual collage places shots from Hitchcock’s Rear Window into paper set decoration, expanding the original movie’s ideas in a playful and provocative mode. As viewers, we must get through to the characters within a maze of colourful layers and alien objects that visualize the process of medialization and point out the framework limiting our view.
