Andran Abramjan, Jan Hofman / Czech Republic / 2024 / World Premiere / 21 min.


synopsis

What does a drone pilot operating on a peacekeeping mission in an unnamed country see on his monitor? We are slowly getting used to the stream of variously distorted images of so-called strategic targets. Along with the ability to see human beings, animals and landscapes in crumbling shapes, sensitivity to who is watching is increasing. The poem Three Economic Units by Tomáš Čada is the source for the film.

biography

Andran Abramjan (1985) is a director of documentaries and experimental films. He graduated from the Faculty of Science at Charles University and documentary filmmaking at FAMU. In his documentary films, he plays with fiction, visual experimentation and the poetics of absurdity. He is returning to Ji.hlava IDFF, where he has already presented several films, after ten years. His essay To Rule, to Work, to Earn, to Pray, to Collapse (2013) won a special mention in the Czech Joy section. His feature film Empire Builders (2018) received the Pavel Koutecký Award for Documentary Debut.

Jan Hofman (1986) is a director (graduate of FAMU, BA programme), cinematographer and VFX artist, in the past also a theatre performer (FKK ensemble). He is the author of the short films Hotel (2011), Doctors (2013) or Curatorium (2013). He is currently preparing his feature debut.
