Crulic - The Path to Beyond

Anca Damian / Poland, Romania / 2011 / Czech Premiere / 71 min.


synopsis

FilmHOPELESSNESS uses hand drawings, cutout animation, and pixilation to tell the story of a Romanian citizen who died in a Polish prison as the result of a hunger strike. In this politically engaged documentary, the protagonist describes his absurd tale: although no guilt was proven, he was imprisoned anyway. He decides that a hunger strike is the only way to preserve his humanity.
