COMMUNIQUE / INTERNÍ SDĚLENÍ VE VĚCI ÚŘEDNÍ
Year: 2004
Colour: BW / Colour
Format: Digital BETACAM
Lenght: 33'
Cheerful essay on civil servants in which the author, drawing on rich documentation of almost etymologic nature, describes the transformation or conversely the passivity of civil servants at a time when they have to adapt to outside influences of requirements and regulations imposed on them by the EU. The civil servants are not isolated, but they belong to a special category. They cannot escape the reach of regulations, which determine their actions. At the same time they adjust them to fit their nature. The director, inspired by observations of her husband, who began to change inconspicuously after switching from a public sector job to service in the state apparatus, sees civil service as a collection of butterflies with the most exquisitely ornamented wings, whose flight through the offices combines geometrical precision with fantasy. At the samen time, her observation establishes the correlation between the civil servants' instinct and the distinctive creativity some of the specimens are capable of, as two distinct, but mysteriously interconnected phenomena.

Prague has applied for candidacy for the 2016 Olympic Games. An idea of the capital turning into the world’s largest sporting venue polarizes Czech people. Some say Prague will make it. Opponents say the country is to small and too corrupt to bear such huge costs. A contribution to the debate on how the Games might affect the city’s life, the documentary itself turns into a sporting venue for arguments of both sides of the issue, architects, politicians, economists and natural scientists.

The starting point of the film is the contradictory personality of Czech modernism. Zdenek Rykr
(1900–1940) – painter, art theoretician, graphic artist, cartoonist, journalist and graphic designer – worked with companies such as Orion, Bata, Skoda. His permanent “borderless movement” where he mix various techniques and different approaches became the guiding principle of his life and it makes this forgotten artist a time-less personality – at least in social-cultural sense.

The director, who is currently suffering from pregnancy diabetes, is suddenly forced to give up refined sugar. Suffering from the withdrawal symptoms, she realises how difficult it really is to give up this addictive drug and how it’s almost impossible to find any food without sugar content in our shops. Sugar is everywhere; in most products from a roll and bread, through pre-prepared meals to beer. It’s in tinned vegetables, crisps, and sausages, even in cigarettes, as well as advertising and politics (The Czech Republic as a chair of EU). The director investigates the impact of hundreds of years of sugar consummation on individuals and society. She discovers the huge power this white powder has played in history right through to the present day. From discussions with doctors and psychologists, she uncovers strong links between mental and behavioural disorders and excessive consumption of sugar. She learns about the crucial influence on human physical and mental functions. She asks the questions: if we are a large society of sugar users, how does this addiction demonstrate itself in the way our society functions? To what extent is the sweet life the driving force of our civilization? What does this sweet life actually look like? How far would we go to achieve the sweet life of our dreams? The genre of the film borders on historic thriller, mixing scientific observation and social
documentary with some real life documentary situations.
