about

Soundtrack for a documentary miniature illustrating the birth of rural mythology. As they talk about Jan Vizváry, a physically disabled resident of the village of Čáry in western Slovakia, a group of villagers gives rise to stories and tales that they witnessed or merely heard about. The boy with the deformed legs became the subject of observation and local sayings in which memories of World War II become intertwined with everyday as well as extraordinary events.

The village’s residents remember a big storm during which his father was hit by a tree, as well as the film scraps he collected and then screened at the local cinema.

-IDFF Ji.hlava

The impressive and abstract approach was chosen in the next joined episode of Čapatý Ján (2013), where the image of this man appears only for 7 seconds, during which, the audience, engrossed in the whole visuals and atmosphere, doesn’t spot this the first time, but imagines him the whole time. The story is constructed as a collage of black and white picture fragments, which are analogously cut and filled in by post productive extreme sound recordings. This strange roadmovie is in itself basically a double-feature – of Ján Čapatý and present time appearance of the region Čáry.

- Zuzana Janečková, VLNA magazine 55/2013
