Forst Filming Locations

The film FORST bridges reality, activism and fantasy. FORST is a documentary with fictitious elements about a mysterious group of outcasts in the forest. This 50-minute film was awarded the "best short documentary prize" at the Graz Diagonale film festival. FORST is a portrait of a forest in the middle of Europe that harbors a community of banished people, set beyond urban life and civilization - a stranded world. In FORST, the outcasts proclaim their own truth and tell the story of their empowerment. For slowly they become aware of their identities as political refugees and they begin drawing liberation plans. FORST is unsettling and leaves thousands of questions unanswered. It documents a struggle at the front line of hardened opinions, the struggle of who defines reality. The filmmakers' view confronts the audience's view by being provocative, insolent and belligerent.
