YoutubeFilm essay MUSHROOM
HANDA GOTE research and development began work on project MUSHROOM.
The director Vít Janeček will be present at the screening and will introduce the film in person. This film essay illustrates on many examples of study of mushrooms as well as experiences with mushrooms, the relationship between organisms and plants as well as human society, in which mushrooms become not only food, ecological promise or a motivation for a walk in the woods but also the analogy to human thought. The film features the director Tomáš Vorel, philosopher Zdeňek Neubauer, mycologist Dr. John Dodd and others.
Vít Janeček’s film Fungus shot in 2000 introduces several notable personalities who share an interest in a complex and interesting phenomenon: mushrooms. The film treats this phenomenon from the biological, artistic and social viewpoint.
“Director and scriptwriter Vít Janeček managed to break down the stereotypical view of mushrooms as forest plants meant to be collected. He introduces mushroom as a fascinating organism and draws unusual analogies between mushrooms and the behaviour of industrial society”
