Re/cycle
A forest. A bicycle. A man. Where did they come from? And where do they go?
A deliberately enigmatic, avant-garde surrealist film that abandons narrative logic to explore alienation, environmental decay, and the absurdity of modern existence through found objects and nonlinear imagery.
With input from actor and writer Jan Hlobil, director and cinematographer Rene Smaal presents a film in the true surrealist tradition, in the sense that only 'found' elements were used, and that it defies interpretation based on ordinary cause-and-effect time sequence.
