Jan Bušta

A never-ending flow of words coming from the leader of the sect culminates in the drinking of poison, turning this massacre into the biggest one in modern times. These dramatic moments in 1978 were caught on tape, which bore witness to the event. On that basis, a film experiment came to pass in which the sect members are represented by children and their leader is a youth who is transformed in front of the camera into a seven years older. The film is also a cinephile tribute to film experiment milestones, ‘demagogically manipulating’ all elements of film narration and audience’s expectations.
