Technophobia

Video

A flag-waver pursues his passion on a Sunday morning in an unusual setting somewhere in Switzerland. We see a flag floating and swinging. The tradition of flag-waving is usually celebrated with a national flag, today it’s a white one.

Release 23rd May 2025 Directed by Rio Wolta Flag Waver Pascal Oberli Cinematography Pascal Reinmann

“Beauty is volatile. There is much epic quality in the simplicity of Pascal Reinmann's black and white, in his melancholic sobriety, in his lack of patriotism. Rio Wolta offers us a moment of tranquility, without sentimentality, without pointing fingers, without condemning: we simply have to contemplate the world with calm and clarity.” – FICIMAD, Festival de Cine Independiente de Madrid
