Jedna Ruka 30 Mačeva (One Hand – 30 Swords) (1967) by Vladimir Petek treats the human hand as an autonomous object, detached from its body, and stages a visually rhythmic exploration of motion and gesture. The film animates the hand in various transformations—splitting, multiplying, contorting—evoking the idea of action, attack, and extension (the “30 swords”) as if the hand itself becomes a weapon, a force, a locus of agency.
