«a well-ordered break» 23', ©2026 / (no.5,85-26) Micah Weber

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[synopsis:] Structured around the filming of an action movie in Braddock, Pennsylvania, «a well-ordered break» casts the camera's gaze as a pessimistic narrator of its own experience, exhibiting a guarded paranoia that is both fragmented and alienating. Inside and outside, sound and image, are defined by their refusal to cohere into a narrative object. Through this exchange of traditional documentary conventions for the classical motifs of pursuit and montage, the film rests in its journey through various iconographies of separation—the historic 2025 protests across Serbia; the demolition of a small town; the destruction of another—and questions whether distances can ever truly be reconciled, or if there exists only escape and capture. The result is an anti-narrative documentary of nihilist flight from an always-already exhausted vocabulary of representation.
