With input from actor and writer Jan Hlobil, director and cinematographer Rene Smaal presents a film in the true surrealist tradition, in the sense that only 'found' elements were used, and that it defies interpretation based on ordinary cause-and-effect time sequence.
Direction
Pure found-footage surrealism, no script, all accident.
Cinematography
Silent-era dread shot through modern eco-anxiety.
Director
Rene Smaal
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Smaal and Hlobil built this entirely from accidental footage with zero planning—true automatic cinema.
The 'neo-surrealist' label here isn't pretension; it's literally the first Dada-compliant film since 1924's Entr'acte.
