Synopsis

DONT KNOW WHAT: Is this a serious avantgarde film for an intellectual audience or an entertaining animation film for a larger audience? Definitely it shifts between several categories: between life action and animation (single frame editing). Between language and music (language is transformed into music). Between serious formal interest in the film image and a humorous approach to it. Between conceptual planning and playful experimentation. Between intellect and emotion. So, no wonder, when the audience might say: DONT KNOW WHAT.
