Lordan Zafranović

Predrag Popovic, Goran Markovic, Srdjan Karanovic, Rajko Grlic and Lordan Zafranovic talk about the Russian intervention in Czechoslovakia in 1968.

Documentary about the life and work of Ivan Martinac (1938-2005), avant-garde & experimentalist filmmaker from Split, Croatia.

We encounter the controversial Croatian film director Lordan Zafranovic in voluntary exile in Prague. The film follows his rise from a talented outsider to the celebrated Yugoslav director of the acclaimed war film, 'An Occupation in 26 Pictures'. His life story is an unconventional depiction of a rise and fall that reveals compromises made in order to survive artistically during communism, as well as the missed opportunities and miscalculations that led to his inability to adapt in later years. Is the charismatic Zafranovic a national traitor or a victim of historical circumstances in which the only thing he wanted to do, in his own words, was to be himself and make films?

An epic documentary of rise and fall of Ustasha regime in Croatia.

Students from the Prague Academy of Film (FAMU) talk about their life in Prague. Filmed in Prague in 1968, a few months before the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia.

The Focus is the film about easy death on the Mediterranean sun.

Experimental short.

An experiment with 'anti-language' in detail (in composition, in changing plans, in exposition, etc.). Proof that the general rhythm and those miraculous 'pixels' that are not seen in the projection really mean a lot, if not everything.

Compressing one idle day in the life of a young artist by rotating the camera through his room, a sort of a self-portrait of Lordan Zafranović resembles a one-shot film, its grainy photography and moody music suggesting a meditative atmosphere characteristic for Split authors of his generation.

A couple meet and walk down the streets of Split all the way to the shore. This is the second film Zafranović ever made and the oldest preserved.
