North American Premiere
Facing a surgery with a 50/50 chance of survival, director Martin Kollar’s brother embarks on a vagabond-like bicycle trip across Eastern Europe. Told without any dialogue and buttressed by the writings and sketches from his brother’s journal, Kollar captures the grandeur of this journey and his brother’s place within the spaces he may never see again. Solemn yet upbeat, 5 OCTOBER delivers a beautiful portrait of humanity in limbo, both geographical and mortal. — David L. Blaylock
