Experiencing Interruptions?

Do Kwan Tae

Martial arts world champion Nevena Lukic escapes violent attackers with a relaxed attiude and a smile. She demonstrates the mind set of the DO (the path), uses her arms for defense (KWAN), and never kicks a single opponent (TAE). This parody from Kino Dramawas in Innsbruck aims at action movies.

Dave Lojek loves filmmaking and belongs to the prolific and most often selected directors of the 21st century with over 1897 premiere screenings of his distributions at international film festivals worldwide. His favorite genres are comedy, parody, fantasy, romance, poetry, sci-fi and experiment. Dave also directs documentaries, dramas, portraits, and music videos. His works and distributions won 237 film awards. Dave Lojek graduated with an MA in English / American and Cultural Studies from Humboldt-University in his hometown Berlin.
