Questionnaire

di Anna Okrasko
2011, 04’57”
Formato Originale: PAL
Presentato allo Schermo dell’arte Film Festival 2014
In “Questionnaire” the subjects of the film are asked questions such as: “What is our frame of mind as citizens? What are your ideals? What are your dreams? What are your plans for the future?” This footage is appropriated from two documentaries by Polish film director Kazimierz Karabasz: “Na progu” / “On the Threshold” (1965) and “Próba materii” / “Material Test” (1981). Questionnaire is re-edited so that the viewer is not allowed to hear the subjects’ answers; rather the viewer watches peopleʼs faces, expressing doubt, confusion or hesitation, thus escaping surveillance. Still the video works as a real questionnaire, making the viewer think about the questions posed by the documentary.
