Nightwalk
Based on the early avantgarde film "Bezúčelná procházka"(Aimless Walk) by the Czech filmmaker Alexandr Hackenschmid, the film describes a circle walk around the city of Prague at night time. The images of the paths through the outskirts of Prague are confronted with sound pieces of the commercial life at daytime in the center. The walk through the night seems to be restless, interrupted by flickering images of sleeping animals in the ZOO and fragments of a song by Bertold Brecht and Hans Eisler.
