Synopsis
The film happens to be directed by the granddaughter of Radek Pilař, and wellknown creator of beloved Czech children animated series such as Rumcajs and somewhat less known as a pioneer of video art in Czechoslovakia. The documentary brushes the dust off of those old VHS cassettes to get a glimpse of early electronic images in our country and uncover the yet unmapped history of pre-revolution Czech video art.Decades later they all “videists” (Skala,Vasulka,more) still share their enthusiasm, obsessive curiosity, and futuristic visions about the use of new technologies for artistic expression.
