Film description

How do athletes construct and present themselves under the gaze of coaches, institutions, and imagined spectators? Agon tracks three women athletes, specialists in judo, fencing, and shooting, as they prepare for the fictional Ludoj 2024 Games. The director combines the immediacy of documentary observation with stylized, digitally enhanced sequences that he defines as “techno realism”. Thus, he creates an unsettling yet captivating portrait of competition, where physical discipline collides with doubt, sacrifice, and fragile identity.

i There are no scheduled screenings.
