Getting the Most of It
Šimon Gogola / Czech Republic / 2023 / World Premiere / 15 min.
synopsis
The term found footage is given new meaning by a film where a random passer-by picks up the camera when asked to. We learn a lot about the city of Most in the most suitable place – a train station restaurant – where seemingly disconnected conversations take place about genius loci, unfulfilled loves and the price that always has to be paid.“In situations where two people have nothing to say to each other, there is always something to talk about.” — Šimon Gogola
