The Snake Would Not Eat the Butterfly

Kateřina Bílková / Czech Republic / 2013 / World Premiere / 21 min.


synopsis

An interview with a 24-year-old girl who is going through her memories in order to formulate her future and come up with what to create in her “productive years”. She turns to important points in the past, primarily those in the family, and uses associative images and titles related to the remembered scenes to delve into concrete situations and their consequences, to explore the preordained nature of family stories.

The images were shot on a mobile phone and edited together in a work that mixes film diary with video blog.
