Stamino, 11min., Czech Republic
Directed by Marie-Anna Šulc
Stamino drifts through fatigue and the quiet rituals of nourishment and recovery, always accompanied by vulnerability, the urge to heal, and a wry gaze toward a culture obsessed with the body and its perfection. It moves between closeness and distance, frustration and renewal, tracing the edges of what it means to live in a body that aches, adapts, and resists. Beneath it all runs a longing for meaning, for connection, for transformation, within the slow and uncertain struggle of becoming.
