X (film short)

X from Karl Armen {A||K! PRODS} on Vimeo.

A man rides his bicycle upside down… Or, is he right and the world is not?... I made this film in Nosvaj & Eger (Hungary), summer 2012. It was produced as part of the Slow Film Workshop run by Csaba Bollók and a great crew of filmmakers and tutors. I shot it with an Olympus ep-3 in combination with Bolex and traditional Olympus lenses. My fondest memories are making friends with my European and Turkish counterparts, drinking spritzers (I think I overdid it), watching people backflip on a trampoline (penalty for losing at a game of darts) and helping refine the Anglo-Hungarian pidgin language! https://www.facebook.com/XFilmShort
