  • My Amazing Film

    2025 Adults 11 min

    by Adam Zahradník

    Individual schizophrenically narrated episodes take us through the instrumentalisation of life by creating pulp (mirroring the film itself) and personifying a machine. The film is rooted in the director’s infinite hatred of computers and, in a deeper sense, explores the boundaries of resistance in the digital age.

    People have the tendency to take whatever they want, regardless of the consequences. Maybe it’s without any bad intent, but unconsidered actions can lead to unexpected outcome. The short film Yachay– a Quechua word we could translate with “knowledge from the woods” – deals with the subject of being human.
