Action Item

Paula ĎURINOVÁ 2025 Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany color 67min DCP
Set in Berlin, Action Item explores how burnout is not only experienced but constructed by the pressures of constant performance and efficient control in the society. The film offers a vision of transforming personal anxiety into communal resistance, reframing burnout through shared memory, found footage, and the politics of mental health. It attempts to create a space where individual struggles are recognized more as systematic conditions and reimagined through collective reflection.
