Casting of Time

Dobroslav Zborník / Czechoslovakia / 1970 / 9 min.


synopsis

This visually refined film about the casting of bells is also a meditative portrayal of rhythm and time, physical matter, and the possibilities of narrative film. It is a conscious continuation of the legacy left by Jiří Lehovec.

biography

During the normalization period, director Dobroslav Zborník (1945–2001) shot his own independent portraits of artists who were not a part of the officially approved culture scene. After 1989, he started to focus on films about Czech history.
