Walk in

Moucle Blackout / Austria / 1969 / Czech Premiere / 6 min.

synopsis

The patterns of synchronisation of musical motifs and plot segments do not emphasize narration, but gestures and movements, the timing of which is governed by the sound component. The minimalist musical composition forces the actor to enter the apartment again and again, rarely allowing him to sit down at the table and light his pipe. The film composition was created by following a predetermined algorithm.
