Dance on film: Commander & Ephemera (Czechia)

from Farm in the Cave |
director/choreographer: Viliam Dočolomanský
Effemery co-directed by Jiří Matoušek

Two short dance films from Farm in the Cave. Effemery is about fleeting moments. It was filmed during early Covid in a vast, empty building, with 20 performers in permanent motion. Commander is inspired by real online chats of the neo-Nazi group FKD, which was led by a thirteen-year-old boy operating under the nickname Commander. It uses the chats themselves as the text.

In Czech, with English subtitles.
