THE ELEMENTARY METHODS OF WALKING

"A dream is a second life. And sometimes the first.” - Jan Švankmajer

The Švankmajer-esque energy does not leave the viewer with the opening quote, on the contrary, it intertwines with the entire surrealist mini-film. What about? As the name suggests, the movie is primarily about walking, about fate, about what "fair play" means and, last but not least, about when our home becomes a mere chessboard. Or have we always been just figures? Do we know where our place is yet? Should we continue in our move when the queen is dead? THE ELEMENTARY METHODS OF WALKING – D. T. Křístek and Vojtěch Veselý´s movie about walking.
