SUICIDE ROOM

Director's Statement

Of all beautiful themes in global art, I was always greatly inspired by love during puberty. It was no different during the production of SUICIDE ROOM, where love, puberty and rebellion became intertwined with the hysteria of the internet communities, addiction to illusion, unrestrained obsession with another person, unlimited and in effect deadly dangerous possibilities of auto creation in the virtual world, and in truth, a great longing for love. Our team looked for inspiration mainly in Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther and Shakespeare's Hamlet- in both cases these creations, when clashed with the digital world, took on a new, very modern meaning. Werther is a boy whose feelings for a girl lead him to insanity, and Hamlet is a young man who puts on a mask of madness to begin a very dangerous game with everyone around- both of these attitudes describe the main character of Suicide Room - Dominik, a representative of our times. In a world where everyone's learned to express their needs and fight for oneself and everyone knows how to speak, not everyone wants to listen. As a result of these insane transformations, the modern man is lonely and in peace with loneliness. A man who kills himself like a suicide victim, every day, little by little, out of loneliness and lack of love, but one who is too busy to notice that. As it is believed, souls of suicides wander the Earth, looking for consolation. "Suicide Room" is a hymn for all those who kill themselves every day, a hymn about stopping for just a short while and listening, since this could let one live for at least a second longer.
