05 INSER SONG
DIRECTOR: KAMIL DOSSAR
YEAR:2023
“Every film festival should have an award for the most abstract love
film of the year (for what is more abstract than love itsefl?) and if we
had one, it would go to Kamil Dossar for ‘Insert Song’ – an elliptical and
very beautiful video work that starts on stage in an empty concert hall
and, through its disembodied cinematography, floats through a photo lab
and on to a lush park where a young couple is kissing by the water.
‘Insert Song’ is an arrangement. A juxtaposition of images, sound and
objects with performative interventions that shift one’s expectations of
the subjects we witness with simple, but profound gestures. A singer
dressed in white, singing a ballad with a voice that is not his. A troll
in full war uniform. Heart-shaped balloons. A single-note score
indicates the horizontality of the open, non-linear structure that
Dossar nonetheless pursues with precision.” - CPH:DOX
