Known For

Grass

“A very short 8 mm movie, looping into hallucinative effect, which is typical for thinking of author about Awake Dreaming in these time. Digitally modified version.” (Miloš Šejn)

He showed the constant change of the dynamic and calm moments of walking and the alternation of light and dark in the rocky landscape.” (Simona Mehnert)

Echoes

“Reflections of sun rays penetrating through the rocks on the water surface in a narrow gap in Plakánek valley of a side stream of Klenice Creek in Bohemian Paradise. The film suggests a hallucination visual effect after staring a long while at a single spot. Echoes is an excerpt from the 30-min. film Rokle.” (Miloš Šejn)

Wellspring

Wellspring · 1979
