DUST GAMES
/ HRY PRACHU
CZECH REPUBLIC 2001
Directed by: Martin Marecek, 86 MIN
Documentary about the controversial media-circus and the pros and cons
of the meeting between World Bank and International Monetary Fund in September
2000 in Prague. It centers on the actions of Prague’s city council,
the police and the demonstrators – many of whom World Bank and Monetary
Fund opponents – but also gives time to the advocates. For his diploma
film, Martin Marecek took his camera right into the turbulent conflict,
but also uses aerial views from police-helicopters. We also get to know
some people on the outskirts of this conflict – like the street-vendor
who unsuccessfully tries to sell refreshments and sleeping-bags to the
demonstrators at Strahov-stadium.
