Escapism
Short Film, 6 min – excerpt above
An individual lives in a fast-moving world in which time is a priceless commodity. Because of the technization of the world the individual saves time, but the saved time needs to be spent productively. The human must work. As one of many? Non-stop working, creating, achieving. This is pressuring, constraining and fearing the individual. The film »Escapism« deals with the evolution of emotions as a result of the pressure to achieve.
