Ondřej Doskočil knows the weight of inherited political layers of the black metal genre as well as of the problems contained in musealisation and sensation craving colonization of subcultures by marketing ideology. As an insider and a musician he can also distinguish, untangle and give voice to the symbol systems inside of this extreme metal subgenre that would otherwise not speak to uninvolved people at all, or that would not even be heard over the all-encompassing noise. The format of the mobile phone shot "exhibition walkthrough" could confuse while detecting what is the medium he refers to.
Another part in NJME series focuses on question why some people found their own museums and how do they see their purpose.

The final outcome from the workshop was to be a personal documentary from the location. I asked the tractor train driver to move the train in front of my camera. The train offered some amazing views of the museum. And that etude with a dog in the street at the end of the video happened completely by chance. I filmed and edited the video directly in the camera. Via my walkman I added background music that blared over the museum outdoor loudspeakers. A report on the museum park was created that did not feature any actual events, places or real people. No video could match the intensity of the experience though.
