Tomáš Svoboda

Kinetopsia, a disorder in which one believes that static objects are in motion, serves as a metaphor for the social situation we find ourselves in: the Velvet Revolution took place thirty-five years ago, and while the opaque present continues to bring new problems, public discussion often still revolves around the hunt for the "spectre of communism". From the perspective of a young couple, we discover the fascinating project of Sylvia's abandoned Discoland and become aware of the critical moments of the political transformation that has determined the economic and cultural conditions in which we live today.

Fly is an example of a so-called "text film" method, which has recently taken the interest of Svoboda. In an abstract way, using short schematic texts and images, he tells a story whose final form has to be compounded by every viewer himself, via his own imagination (in this case it is a story of passengers on an airplane). Everyone thus creates his own specific version of the story.

The feature film by visual artist Tomáš Svoboda is not about film. It is not an essayistic reflection on the moving image. It is not a comical story from a summer afternoon. It cannot be perceived as a record of a work process. It is not even a retold film. And it is certainly not about the technology of filmmaking. It is about life.
