Klara’s Tapes

Director: Donart Zymberi | Czech Republic 2025 | 15 min | DCP | Without dialogue | with Mia Allis Agro

Klara’s Tapes is a psychological short film about obsession, surveillance, and the search for control in the aftermath of trauma. After receiving a series of anonymous VHS tapes that document her daily life from afar, Klara finds herself caught in a cycle of reliving moments of intimacy, violation, and confusion. As she replays them, the line between control and vulnerability begins to blur. Is she victim, participant—or both? Set in contemporary Prague and told through a mix of raw VHS aesthetics and present-day imagery, Klara’s Tapes explores voyeurism, loneliness, and the unsettling comfort found in being watched.
