The Last Self-portrait

Posledný autoportrét ; Marek Kuboš, 2018, versions: OR,ES,

Týždeň slovenského filmu 2022. {Film.sk: Film storočia}

Director: Marek Kuboš • Scenario: Marek Kuboš • Camera: Marek Kuboš • Cast: Jaro Sýkora, Jano B., Jozef Brezovský, Jozef Pátrovič, Soňa Balková, Jozef Drengubjak, Anna Kubošová – Baková, Štefan Durčák, Veronika Brúderová, Marek Majeský, Soňa Holičková, Ivan Ostrochovský, Jaro Vojtek, Braňo Špaček, Zuza Piussi, Peter Kerekes, Alexander Strelinger, Tomáš Pašteka, Martin Šulík, Miro Remo, Marek Šulík, Juraj Lehotský, Robert Kirchhoff, Maroš Berák, Mišo Suchý, Ľubo Štecko, Marek Kuboš, Mário Homolka

After a years-long creative (non) hiatus, well-known Slovak documentarian Marek Kuboš has finished his new film. It appears, as one would expect, to be a documentary. At first glance, that is. This cinematic hybrid is Kuboš’s unconventional attempt at self-reflection – as an artist, a son, as well as an ordinary person. Using his finished but unreleased work, he presents a singular, honest confession about why he is seriously considering ending his film career, or at least in the form it has taken to date. Along with many nowestablished Slovak filmmakers, as well as everyday people, he searches for less-than-simple answers to his less-than-simple questions… “I've long felt that through documentary filmmaking I can’t say what I want to, what calls out to me. I’ve butted against internal and external boundaries that have paralyzed me as a documentarian. And so I’ve decided to shoot a film from my own perspective: how I see it and what to do about it… I like quantum physics, where it’s normal that something simultaneously is and isn’t in a certain place. It’s actually in two places at the same time. It’s the same with this film.” (Marek Kuboš)
