Artistic endeavour isn’t about competing; even so, applicants still have to be placed in order of merit at the academy’s entrance exams. But how do you assess artistic talent? And what role can art play in today’s world? A layered, observational documentary which presents a portrait of an institution and a light generational statement in one.

[IDFA '22] Taking "Le concours" (Claire Simon, 2016) as a reference, an entrance exam to the Academy of Bells Arts in Prague serves as a reflection of society. But it reveals the deep generation gap between professors and applicants, with a humorous look. It works better in interactions, but it can't help but show the sympathies of the directors. Very interesting as an artistic work that reflects on what art is.
