Parallel Hopes

director: Lucie Rosenfeldová

original title: Souběžné naděje

country: Czech Republic

year: 2015

running time: 6 min.

synopsis

A video essay addressing the ambiguity of human identity, which defies self-improvement and colonisation techniques through mind management. By revealing the instrumental nature of these psychological techniques, the filmmaker resists reducing “happiness” to economic benefits. The polysemic nature of human subjects is emphasised in the film by the never-ending shifts between the performance and its recording.
