ENTROPY, 8min., Slovenia
Directed by Jan Hajšen
Entropy is closely connected to randomness, that is, absence of information - in living beings this primary information is the DNA that controls the entropy and prevents chaos. The movie is an illustration of chaos in an apocaliptic world and a structure that holds the space together.
