Photo Atelier (Foto Atelje)

experimental film, 10min, 2008. Croatia.
directed by Lukas Nola.

Victims de-victimised on the net.

Photo atelier used to be the place at which memories were chosen. Today, with the presence of the media, that choice is no longer personal. How objective is the personal choice of one’s memories? And what is personal?

Produced by Kinorama.

Screening at the EasternXpress festival 2009.

Dog Hotel (Hotel za pse)

experimental film, 7 min, 2007. Croatia.

directed by Miranda Herceg.

“I have moved to a new address.
I don’t meet my neighbors at all.
All I hear is dogs barking.
I don’t know anyone here; I only know the
apartment numbers.
There is no identity here, no friends or intimacy.
All the tenants are like hotel guests – just numbers.”

They feel safe behind closed doors.
They only communicate with dogs.
So they become dogs.
All alone, left in the dog hotel.

The transformation from man to dog is represented by the change in the shooting
formats from 35mm through Mini DV and digital camera to cell phone. This is because
dogs have relatively poor eyesight. In parallel, the sound intensifies over the course of
the film to symbolise the acute sense of hearing that dogs possess.

Three Love Stories

Short feature film, 25min, 2007. Croatia.

directed by Snježana Tribuson.

This is a black-humor story about three women who are abused by their men, each in her own way. The first part speaks of a woman who was kept locked by her jealous husband, first in the house, and then in a cupboard, until she fled to a safe-house.  This part of the movie is interlaced with the introductory elements of the story about a woman who ended up in prison for having cut off the hand of her abusive husband. Despite the evidently bad relationships in both these cases, the men claim they still love their wives.  The third love story is a story about an elderly woman who is finally living in the long-desired harmony with her husband, now that he is bed-ridden and mute after a stroke…
