How to Stop Watching a Video That Never Ends
Jan Martinec / Czech Republic, China, Taiwan / 2018 / World Premiere / 8 min.
synopsis
A film essay based on the conflict between decorative shots from a bird’s eye perspective and three mechanical, linearly-connected monologues dissects the subconsciousness of an individual saturated with a multitude of differing choices, opinions, and possibilities in the numbers-driven age of digital media.
biography
Jan Martinec (1984) is a graduate of the Prague Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design. An examination of his career reveals an interest in the relationship between the mechanical present-day and meager history, as well as the desire to explore the fragile spaces between documentary, experimental film, and narrative.
