Drowning manifests itself when a person reflexly stops breathing to
prevent the liquid entering the lungs. This short experimental film
explores the drowning body by putting it in relation to water as a
dominant element.

An Infinite Loop for Resistance |

An avant-garde is a front line. This is a work for the regeneration of
the avant-garde. This is a media-fashioned attack aimed at the
disturbing omnipotence of hyperrealism and fascist banality - best
symbolized by Donald Trump's burning latex effigy. This is a violent
collage - shreds of simulacral tumult, a riot in media waste. Meant to
be projected anywhere - as a call to arms, a way to incite, an attempt
at shaking the normalization of bigotry and authoritarianism. This is
a call to #Revolt more than #Resist. This is not for photo ops. Rather
than bathe in the aesthetics of nothingness, it is time to wake up and
fight the active evil that radiates from the seat of "power" and
alters the real through mediated nihilism.
Meant for guerrilla projections on urban landscapes, video loop
displays, and theatrical projection.

Peeling back the shrouded image, Exhumation is a reanimation of long
lost desire. A response to news of a celebrity paternity suit and the
mythology adhered to it, Exhumation obsesses over buried memories to
create one’s own monster from memory.

The experimental film NOWHERE poetically explores the personal
experience of departure/return and rebuilding identities. Dramaturgy
consists of two backbones - a scene portraying a sculpture "Before the
dawn" by Neli Ruži? and the monument of Bogdan Bogdanovi? "The
Guardian of Freedom", both of which were set up at the Klis fortress
during the different moments in history, given up to entropy and
social changes. The conditions in which these sculptures have been
found activate the archeology of time, invisible and erased history.
The film intends to use narration and visuals to depict the
interweaving of personal, autobiographical and historical situations,
individual and collective memories, but also the concept of identity
as an unstable structure.

On November 15, 2017, all contact with a submarine in the waters of
the Atlantic Ocean was lost. He has 44 crew members on board. Your
family and loved ones expect something new that never comes. The
uncertainty is total and the rumors thousands. As individuals, each
one transits this situation in a different way. This film emulates
with a dream and imaginary vision what could happen through the mind
of the father of one of the crew.

The section "Cinéma in Transgression" offers middle or feature lengh films out of norm and order, between fiction and documentary, characterised by complex audio-visual languages, unpredictable associations based on unconcient, metaphorical and metonymical proceedings. In this way these films can express the complexity of reality.
