Director:Barbora Chalupová
Length:40 minutes
Genre:Document

Czech Competition

Director: Barbora Chalupová

Why do Czech citizens want to possess firearms and how easy are they to acquire? Four young women discuss the phenomenon of the legal and illegal possession of firearms in a wager in which each of them tries to obtain a deadly weapon without owning a licence. Buying a gun from a secret website or printing one on a 3D printer proves relatively easy. In the first part of the film, the director makes creative use of a web interface on which reports and interviews with people connected with guns are placed. The documentary then takes viewers on an adventure in which the protagonists head to the dark corners of physical and electronic reality.
