ACTION ITEM

World premiere: Karlovy Vary 2025 / Proxima Competition

Double world premiere status with FIDMarseille (International Competition)

In her second feature documentary, director Paula Ďurinová explores how exhaustion is not just lived but constructed—shaped by the pressures of constant performance and control. Set in Berlin, Action Item creates a space where struggles are not only experienced but reimagined. Through collective reflection and found footage, the film traces the shift from personal fatigue to a shared understanding of systemic conditions. It challenges the narratives of self-optimization, revealing burnout as more than an individual crisis. Between resistance and care, between memory and action, Action Item uncovers what has always been there: anxiety as a public secret.
