The Dike of Transience

A mulandóság gátja

Gulya Nemes | Czech Republic | 2004 | 13' | | IFFR 2007

Three years of the Kopaszi dam under a demolition order. The sunlight spindle camera, the scratches and flashes of the expired raw material and the cut in the camera breathe together with nature and the people living there. The film’s sound material is an orchestra’s rehearsal in which a brass band is trying to play the Egmont overture.
