This edition of PFC presents short films with DIY approach to filmmaking: 01:26:54, a collaboration between anarchist collectives from Thessaloniki; Momentument by Prague collective Object Paradise and director Tyko Say; and 23:23 (Život jedna báseň, není peříčko) by Czech director Kateřina Dudová.

23:23 (Život jedna báseň, není peříčko, 2024, Prague, Czechia)
We all perceive poetry differently. For some, a poem is a rhyming text, for others a metaphysical experience. For director Kateřina Dudová, it is an experiment with three people who are close to her, whom she places in one room for three days, leaving them to their fate with the task of writing a poem. Sometimes the recording of real events is more poetic than the poem itself.
“I was given the task of making a 'film poem', but I hate poems, so I'm looking for something… the feeling I want to get from poetry, how I feel. What is a poem?” – Kateřina Dudová

OBJECT:PRAHA IV : Momentument (2025, Prague, Czechia)
If you could paint a state of mind, would that be art, or just a moment? Momentument is a 30-minute documentary exploring public authorship through collective creation & curation where no one is an artist outside of the immediate moment. Set to the rhythm of the Žižkov underground, the film is part of the OBJECT:PRAHA series which aims to celebrate the subjective experience in creating together through community happenings, curations, and media.

01:26:54 (2007, Thessaloniki, Greece)
Vasilis, a fanatical film lover and sharp critic, tries to convince his environment that Leni Riefenstahl, the Third Reich's filmmaker, was an overrated, talentless beast and not a great female pioneer of the 7th art. So he puts "Triumph of the Will", Riefenstahl's landmark film, under the microscope, and tries to discover its aesthetic "errors". Things take an unexpected turn when he discovers that at 1 hour 26 minutes and 54 seconds into the film…
This short film was initiated by a group of non-experts (mainly from Thessaloniki collectives Fabrica Yfanet, Machina and +technia-) who were aware of their limitations in terms of filmmaking. We explored this new terrain during a collectively organized production of 01:26:54. Using only basic equipment and without asking for financial sponsors or permission we would like to believe that we have contributed a short motion picture to one of the most significant ventures of our times: the fight against the inevitability of absolute order and control.

Voluntary entry (recommended 100-200)
Punctum Film Club screens international films once a month that are creative, artistic, and evoke a strange feeling in the audience. Whenever possible, the film screenings will be followed by a discussion with the creators of the film, providing space for the audience to ask questions, share their thoughts, and understand the perspectives of the artists.
