Green Horizon

Tibor Podhorec / Czechoslovakia / 1965 / 8 min.


synopsis

This graduate project film uses zoom shots delving deep into the landscape to bring images of a smoking chimney and large mining wheel excavators. This portrayal of objects embedded in a landscape gradually being taken over by the army is a colorful visual poem presenting in-depth views of the life of passive nature, which is in sharp contrasting with iconic symbols of civilization.

biography

Screenwriter and director Tibor Podhorec (1939) has focused his entire filmmaking career on topics associated with the army and war. Until 1990, he worked for Czechoslovak Television’s main editing desk for military, defense, and security programs.
