Winners of Loss - Nr 4 The System
Video: HD. 06:35 minutes.
Winners Of Loss - Nr.4 The System (2013) by Hans Christian van Nijkerk
Second video in the Winners Of Loss series.
Winners of Loss - Nr. 4 depicts a track and field youth competition at Fana Stadium, but the motives deviate from what is normally considered important. Instead of the athletes we are shown details such as the food being sold by the track (chocolate cake, waffles, hot dogs, coffee and soda), senior citizen volunteers raking the sand after each long jump and the officials flipping the number plates of the throwing and jumping exercises.
