Underpass

Underpass (2025) is a documentary film directed by Marek Koutesh.

Underpass is located at the intersection of material deformations and the genre tropes of horrors and thrillers. The defining event of the second half of the 20th century – the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, is in the film combined with the creative decomposition of grainy 8mm film. The dread of the initial shock is conveyed by non-figurative scratches and omnipresent eye-like perforations. The internal rhythm was set to recording from a police dictabelt, which captured the global encounter with the real in a similarly unstable vein.
