3cm of Complexity

Three centimetres can be insignificant or cause great discomfort it all depends on where they are measured. The film connects the forest fires in Greece, exhaustion, and hypochondria while also criticising the Austrian healthcare system. What do these topics have in common? We’ll leave that to Anna Vasof. With a gaze as lucid as it is sharp and a tone that flirts with stand-up comedy, the filmmaker strings together visual metaphors, sketches, and countless incredible devices to turn mental, physical, and structural collapse into cinematic material. Through humour and irony, the film explores resilience and the ambiguities of life in survival mode, putting into perspective the intensity —and fragility— of the mundane.
