Screening is not suitable for children.

Ježek works with found footage, which he then transforms by altering its formal quality yet not changing the image itself. That, which the image depicts is secondary to the physicality of the given material and its potential. One cannot see Ježek's films in the same state of mind more than once. Film is the medium of his performance and also a prop for it. Destruction or the sense of its proximity is thus essential. Medium format film reflects reality, in the right sense of the word — a reality, which becomes the past in the instant it is captured and in the moment it is screened. Together with the author, the viewer is witness to a brief reawakening of something that could be called a relict and he or she is present at the end of it. petra feriancova

Martin Ježek (born 1976) studied film editing and production at FAMU in Prague. After making some fictional films with actors or better figurants, he invented his own specific method of s8 and 16mm filmmaking, using wild montage of intuitively recorded images in combination with similarly multilayered, elaborate soundtrack full of fragments of music and sentences.
