Synopsis
“How to Disappear” is an anti-war movie in the true sense of the word, searching for possibilities for peace in the most unlikely place of an online war game. It’s a tribute to disobedience and desertion – in both digital and physical-real warfare. Shot in the picturesque war landscapes of “Battlefield V”, the hyperreal graphics become the backdrop for an essay-like narrative. The film revolves around the history of deserters – a part of human history, which has hardly been illuminated. Performances and creative interventions explore the scopes and limits of the audiovisual entertainment machine.
Sinopsis
“Kako nestati” je pravi antiratni film koji traži mogućnosti za mir na najneočekivanijem mjestu – u online ratnoj igri. To je omaž neposlušnosti i dezerterstvu – u digitalnom i fizičko-realnom ratovanju. Sniman u slikovitim ratnim krajolicima igre “Battlefield V”, hiperrealna grafika postaje pozadina za esejistički narativ. Film tematizira historiju dezertera – gotovo nepoznatog segmenta ljudske povijesti. Performansi i kreativne intervencije istražuju domete i granice audiovizualne zabavne mašinerije.
