Your scream will be unheard

A Film is an experimental documentary film by Martin Lombok that records the visit to the place where the performance “Your scream will be unheard” took place. The performance is based on the story of Milan N., who committed suicide because of a mental illness that we failed to help him with. The film consists of long, mostly static shots of the natural environment, where the printed answers of an artificial intelligence to Milan’s last letter are displayed. The film is about helplessness, misunderstanding, isolation and loneliness.

Director Biography - Martin Lombok

Martin Lombok is an experimental filmmaker born in 1969 in the Czech Republic. He lives and works in both the Czech Republic and Denmark. He uses video art and other technologies to create films that challenge the conventional ways of storytelling and perception. His films are minimalist and realistic, often using static shots and ambient sounds to create a sense of confusion and discomfort in the viewers. He is inspired by the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Popper, Alan Watts, and other existentialist thinkers. He is interested in exploring concepts such as reality, perception, knowledge, violence, and virtuality.

Director Statement

My film A Film is an experimental documentary film that records the visit to the site of the performance “Your scream will be unheard”. The performance is inspired by the story of Milan N., who took his own life because of a mental illness that we could not help him with. I wanted to create a film that would convey the feelings of helplessness, misunderstanding, isolation and loneliness that Milan experienced, and that many other people experience as well. I wanted to reveal something that exists, but that they would never notice without me. I used long, mostly static shots of the natural environment, where the printed answers of an artificial intelligence to Milan’s last letter are exhibited.
