    circular logic

    Jiří Barta's "Diskžokej" ("Disc Jockey" in English) shows a bunch of actions and processes represented by circles. There's also a bunch of labels that nowadays would look like product placement. The neat scene was when one of the records had an Apple logo (the Beatles' record company, not the then-incipient computer company). I assume that this was all meant to be a mild satire on consumerism, although it's hard to tell with the prominence of the logos.

    I liked "A Ballad about Green Wood", "The Club of the Laid Off" and "Projekt/The Design" (for which IMDb strangely has no entry) better. This one is a little too weird to register.
