AIR

Director Zdravko Mustać
Synopsis
The film “Air”, through an associative line of scenes, metaphorically, metaphysically and literally evokes the concept of dying
“Air” represents a poetic transformation of expression, intuition and revelation. The absence of any narrative form has been replaced by the affirmation of a variable sensory processes. This film is divided into three parts. Each part has its own contingent conditionally connected with scenes that guide us in their own unique way through the process of deciphering the human path to final peace. All three works are conceptually and formally connected. Each unit, in it’s unique way, goes towards a same perceptual path.

Pain / Bol

Director Ivan Faktor
Synopsis
Nakon uspostavljene dijagnoze Parkinsonove bolesti i prvobitnog straha od razvoja simptoma, Faktor je odlučio vizualizirati vlastitu bolest snimajući kamerom mobitela sebe, suprugu, dvorište, ulicu, atelje, a prije svega svjetlosne atrakcije u stanu i ateljeu. I nakon 50 godina snimanja filmova, njegova strast za stvaranjem i životom je još uvijek tu. Faktor snima svakodnevicu, ali dnevničku strukturu narušava intervencijama u stvarnost koristeći svjetlosne atrakcije ili optičke prepreke poput vlastitih drhtavih prstiju. Intervencijama u dokumentarne situacije stvara potpuno iznenađujući unutarnji svijet umjetnika zatočenog u prostoru.

Um tropeço em cinco movimentos

Director Valentina Rosset
Synopsis
A visual accompaniment to Tōru Takemitsu’s sonically sparse composition ‘Corona for Pianist(s)’. Taking inspiration from the graphic score that interprets notes as circles and dots, the film focuses on the micro, elemental and sensual. Light flickering on water, the patterns of landscape, the movement of hands: here time is slowed and a great sense of focus is thrust upon us.

Synopsis
Could someone sell their memories? How much do memories cost? What is the reason someone decides to sell their most precious family memories? And who buys these memories?
A photograph begins its life-cycle in the moment of its creation. It is a snapshot of a moment in time that it preserves. By the act of selling it and buying the photograph, the photograph gains an additional stage in its life and a new purpose.
All photographs used in the film were bought on the second-hand market – making the film a bought-footage time-capsule, and at the same time, a glimpse into the post-capitalist world where even memories are for sale.
