The Silent Witness

Michaela Krausová / Czech Republic / 2024 / 10 min.

synopsis

A silent witness observes the city’s transformation. Fast-paced living and detachment from our roots damage individuals and society. Slowing down and returning to our essence offers a path to renewal. The film quietly reflects on inner growth in an age of superficiality.

This film was made during the 2024 My Street Films workshop under the guidance of Tereza Reichová and Jan Sacher.

This film will be featured in the online edition of Ji.hlava IDFF.
