WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?
In my film project, I try to catch something which in fact cannot be seen or touched or perceived in any usual way. It is a country’s atmosphere at a specific moment of time.
So instead of comparing most recent information or visiting places where history is assumed to happen I let my thoughts and feelings take a stroll in order to merely relax a little.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY? is the pilot episode of a series of short films about this very topic. Every episode will be a philosophical meditation on the current situation in my country. All episodes will be experimental in pursuing one goal: to catch something which cannot be seen or touched in a usual way.

I was introduced to films by films. There've been a couple of film directors I admired and started to understand as artists. I was fortunate all of them used great cinematography that would put some new light on things.
