DEMIGODS
Jiří Surůvka
It was a bizarre spectacle based on the lack of artistic talent of the main actors who were staging awkward aesthetics of clumsiness they found in themselves or models such as Stalin, Hitler, Miki Volek (a Czech rock'n'roll singer), Gary Glitter, The Olympic music group. Czech pop music and TV shows, our parents, Czech art historians, poets and many others. Anyone could become an object of ridicule and disgrace.
Vít Soukup
Vít Soukup shot Old Mates and The Silver Trail (1993) as two parts of an imaginary television series. Both stories are introduced by a television announcer who, in a serious tone, presents a chaotic tangle of banal interpersonal intrigue, as was the custom before genre-based socialist television series. Old Malina comes to visit his resigned friend Drudge, who denounces the vanity of life as a former member of the “coyote” generation of the nineties, deconstructed by postmodernism.
