Opening Ceremony + Wirbel

A desolate landscape, collective guilt, and an opaque mystique are the central themes of Tomáš Hubáček’s film. An inherited house in the bleak Sudeten region brings Martin more than just hostile neighbours and a barely habitable ruin. This compelling work is characterized by a hypnotic interplay of camera filters, long shots of a quiet, unsettling landscape, and folkloric motifs.
