Zamatoví teroristi
Velvet Terrorists
Eine spielerisch-ironische Auseinandersetzung mit drei ehemaligen Terroristen,
die mit nicht immer erfolgreichen Aktionen gegen das kommunistische Regime protestierten. Alle drei werden mit ihren vergangenen
Taten in Form von Re-Enactments konfrontiert. Während Stano vom gescheiterten Versuch erzählt, eine Tribüne am 1. Mai in die
Luft zu sprengen, tritt Fero vor der Folie eines Agentenfilms auf und vermittelt sein Wissen über selbst gebastelte Bomben
und PKW-Manöver. Vladimír schließlich, er hat einst Plakatflächen in die Luft gesprengt, sucht per Casting eine geeignete
Kandidatin für ein subversives Training. Politischer Widerstand trifft auf die Lust am großen Knall. (Nicole Kandioler)
Stano, Fero and Vladimír are three men who resisted the communist regime in Czechoslovakia by planning anti regime terrorist
attacks like blowing up a speaker's platform, destroying public billboards or even killing president Husak. All of them went
to jail for acting out against the government. Three Slovak directors take a humorous look at the unique courage of these
mavericks who managed to rise up from the anonymous and obedient masses. The filmmakers also consider the relevance of their
ridiculously naïve terrorist acts – once called serious crimes but today possibly viewed as acts of heroism. An inventive
combination of authenticity and staged scenes, VELVET TERRORISTS hovers between documentary and fiction. (Karlovy Vary Film
Festival)
