The guerrilla project by Petr Šprincl and Marie Hájková merges mockumentary, noir, mystery and sci-fi as it tackles the topic of extremism. The works of Petr Šprincl, a Czech artist, filmmaker and co-founder of Flesh&Brain, an art platform for low-budget guerrilla filmmaking, fall into a category of their own. His directorial feature debut, the documentary road movie Vienna Calling, follows a Slovak grave robber and amateur stomatologist, Ondrej Jajcaj, as he prepares to return the dental remnants of Johann Strauss and Johannes Brahms that he illegally exhumed in 2002. Last year, Šprincl finished a series of films called Moravia, O Fair Land, in which he marries genre with avant-garde filmmaking in an eccentric cine-essay on Czech nationalism. The film cycle shapeshifts through western-musical-folk-horror and social documentary satire, bringing in national myths, local folklore, zombies and death metal while combining lo-fi VHS aesthetics with 8mm and digital cinematography. Šprincl is continuing.
