Disc Jockey
An alarm clock wakes a man who washes his face, has breakfast, drives his car to work, spins records, returns home, and takes his pills. It's a world of circles - often seen from above: an espresso cup, a stairwell, the pills, and the records spinning. At the dance where the music plays, the rhythms evoke images of a butcher slicing head cheese, gears driving other wheels and levers, a combine churning out bales of hay, a butcher cutting chunks of meat for a stew, and boxers punching. The circle of music and life.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a hypnotic meditation on routine, relying on recurring visual motifs and mechanistic animation. It explores how external rhythms govern biological ones, turning a day into a set of cyclical operations.
What lingers after viewing is a trance-like state where the line between the work of a DJ, the work of a machine, and human life dissolves. The mundane is revealed as a profound, endless loop. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Jiří Barta

Late at night, in darkness, allowing the rhythm and images to take over.
