FilmHOPELESSNESS uses hand drawings, cutout animation, and pixilation to tell the story of a Romanian citizen who died in a Polish prison as the result of a hunger strike. In this politically engaged documentary, the protagonist describes his absurd tale: although no guilt was proven, he was imprisoned anyway. He decides that a hunger strike is the only way to preserve his humanity. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

English An interesting format, especially for a documentary, which in my opinion is overall more beneficial than the story being conveyed to us, even though it's not a boring story, and it's not the story of a man who has nothing to say. The combination of documentary, animated film, and essentially fictionalized thoughts are elements that blur the line between reality and invention more vividly and intricately. ()
