Commander
First Assistant Director
A short film which displays dialogues composed exclusively of fragments of real chats of the neo-Nazi group FKD, which was led by a 13-year-old boy operating under the nickname Commander. The film sets the dialogues in fictional situations in the real world, putting them in the mouths of actors – children. The chilling atmosphere of the conversations, in which children talk publicly about sex, death and hatred, balances between absurdity, humor, fear, and horror. These little adults are – at least verbally – taking responsibility for the world and our lives. When the verbal pressure and manipulation, children are exposed to virtually, are transferred to public space and given a physical form, the resulting image raises many disquieting questions…
