Empty Location / And what about you, Mireček?
Jan Rousek / Czech Republic / 2022 / World Premiere / 11 min.
synopsis
How do locations of iconic scenes in Czechoslovak classic cinema look like today? This film makes use of soundtracks to transfer viewers into the classic works of cinema of the past millennium, while, by way of contrasting footage of today’s real look of the places, it builds a provocative bridge between the past decades and contemporary times.“We only serve tap water with coffee.”
