Fatum is the boundless force of opposition against free will... After reading bad news in the morning paper a man becomes a victim of his own fears.
"Fatum!" - Black Maria Film + Video Festival
“The word Fatum refers to a boundless force against free will” – Friedrich Nietzche. Tchaikovsky wrote a symphonic poem (Opus 77) and there was a 1915 Dutch silent drama titled Fatum. Also there was a class French film series by Louis Feuillade titled Fantømos as well as later iterations of the original text by writer Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre about a master criminal. Elements of Pablo Millan’s short seems to conjure up a bit of the feel and lool of the Feuillade film but it’s technique is extraordinarily original. The protagonist finds himself in media loop, running through newspaper and media coverage of events which prompt his sudden insertion into the print and electronic realm. A most engaging work.
