Radar / Maria Furtacz / 2019 / POL / 1’22
The film deals with the issue of the game, which in this work is shown by means of  two figurative shots: a grid and a circle. The grid, which once marks the meridians and parallels on the map, once is a board to play it, and then becomes a volleyball net – it draws attention to the structural aspect of the game. In other words, its rules and order. The recurring motif of a circle in the film, on the other hand, is related to movement – a circle is a ringo, a dog’s eye, stones for playing it. Therefore, the circle contains an aspect of variability, movement, updating of defined rules (grid). The title « Radar » is both the name of my dog who loves to play ringo and the pulsating sound in the film introducing the game to the time aspect.
