Résumés(1)

Close-ups of machines, primarily gears and pistons, and mechanisms that convert vertical into circular motion, form an abstract composition of rhythmically ordered images. In visually meticulous and geometrically fixed compositions, the machines' beauty also represents enthusiasm for society's industrialization. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
