COMPETITION 4 I WETTBEWERB 4: Apocalypse now
Horse Riders I Krzyżoki
Poland, 2018, 20‘, Polish | English subtitles
In the Polish province, a group of men with a doll-sized Jesus figure in their arms rides from one farm to the next. Once they arrive, the doll is handed around and kissed all over by the inhabitants, without leaving out a single spot. A subjective camera attached to the Jesus figure lets the scenery drift into the surreal. This is increased through close shots on vodka glasses, which are raised to the moustaches and throats of the protagonists, where they are poured down torrentially. In addition, there are several close-ups of riders, letting the film slide further into the grotesque. What is going on there?
