Commander (2022)

Movie 30 min

A short film which displays dialogues composed exclusively of fragments of real chats of the neo-Nazi group FKD, which was led by a 13-year-old boy operating under the nickname Commander.

The chilling atmosphere of the conversations, in which children talk publicly about sex, death and hatred, balances between absurdity, humor, fear, and horror. These little adults are – at least verbally – taking responsibility for the world and our lives. When the verbal pressure and manipulation, children are exposed to virtually, are transferred to public space and given a physical form, the resulting image raises many disquieting questions…
