5 Minutes Each
Film by Vojin Vasovic
5 Minutes Each is a metaphorical story about the constant struggle of the artist to reach those five minutes of limelight. A tale about an upswing and downfall, with the climax appearing concurrently and unexpectedly.
The hermetical life of artists, who are enclosed into their own world of ideas, striving to create the epochal masterpiece. Even if they succeed, the image they create is the reflection of themselves. And with the same fervor, they repeat the process in endless cycles.
The basic idea of the movie looks into the relation between art and the artist, art as ever prevailing and the artist as the expendable. Each character in the movie is a media source, so instead of heads, the characters have newspapers, a television set, a radio transmitter, a computer monitor etc. The aim of this movie is to portray a hyperbolical picture of an everyday artist, the vanities and rapture of creation of the work. They all have to founder in order to ascend. In that sense their need of creating art is detrimental to their equilibrium, and the lure of fame a path towards their doom.
