Moravian Hellas is a sarcastic essay that both uses and parodies documentary traditions, the film depicts the absurd “folklore festivities“, encoraged by the Communist Party and sponsored by the state, in the small village of Stranice. Self-proclaimed showmen, traffickers and etnographers compete for attention among bizzare artefacts and “traditional crafts“ of the socialist epoch.
