DocNomads film premieres in Ji.hlava, Czech Republic

The documentary short ZONA, directed by Viktor Németh, a student from Hungary, will have its World Premiere in the “Short Joy” section of Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival which is held in the Czech Republic from 25 to 30 October.

The film will be available for a short period in the online program of DocAlliance Films within the agenda of the 26th Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival.

Synopsis:

It is quite well known that there are still some 'ghettos' really close to the center of Lisbon. These neighbourhoods are mythicized as places so dangerous and ungovernable that even the police wouldn't dare set foot in them. In reality, the inhabitants of these areas are forming a very strong and tight community.

Using the method of pure observation, Viktor Németh focuses on depicting the life in ZONA (one of the last ghettos in Amadora, Lisbon), raising a lot of questions: is it an art group, community, or simply a lifestyle? Fragments of visually inven-tive pictures, shattering sounds of electronic music mercilessly flowing from loudspeakers and blurred frames of interac-tions, inaccessible to us, only intensify the mythicized character of ZONA.
