Echoes of Time
Ema Kugler : 2014
Odmevi časa
The greatest human delusion is that individuals are free. The only progress is the development of control over people and limiting their freedom so everyone can serve their rulers. Three dark forces are helping with the enslavement of the masses: religion, politics and the military, all disguised in the shiny coat of democracy. People don't understand that freedom is something of the most personal nature and live in the illusion that there is somebody who will take care of them, that there are rules and higher meanings which can relieve them of taking responsibility for their own acts. For this cheap absolution they give their lives into the hands of the Other. A poetic film with sequences from the borderline of reality and dreams, about human nature, social restrictions and the roles that men and women are forced to play in today's world. Experimental artist Ema Kugler's feature was winner of the Castell Award at Barcelona International Film Festival 2014, and screened in competition at Warsaw Film Festival 2014.
