SYNOPSIS

 

Sonja is a poetic portrayal of the story of the sightless potter Sona Zeliskova, who despite adverse fate found her life journey in art and ceramics. The film experiments with audio-visual components to recount Sona's unique story. Combining a documentary, narrative and poetic approach, this short film attempts to denounce the real life story via poetic film language. Director Maroš Milčík and DOP Gašper Šnuder used special infrared technology, in order to achieve a surrealistic black-and-white visual. The unique picture thus emerged purely in-camera without the use of post-production.
