Hrvatska Dubica is a village situated on the river Una, by the Croatian-Bosnian border. Having never recovered from the devastation of the Croatian War of Independence, the village is now dying out. Conversations with intriguing protagonists paint a wider picture of the reasons for the decline of rural Croatia and its agriculture. It is a story about a village left by itself, about the coexistence on a river that both separates and connects two worlds.

Osijek has long been the cultural centre of eastern Croatia, even in war time. But the city seems to have lost its culture along the way. What happened to that pre-war vibe and the people who used to be the pillars of Osijek’s cultural scene? The film explores this loss of identity as seen by the man who was always part of it, and is still trying to be.

Their lives change fundamentally, as if they've been pulled into a war invisible to everyone else. The plot is limited to the most acute, a short period of time and a situation that boils down to the most important thing – to save a loved one.

The film appears to be set in the late 1980s Yugoslavia, as a family welcomes their beloved uncle, who has returned home from Germany for the holidays. The reunited family enjoys the Christmas lunch until a smartphone starts ringing. It’s a sign that it is not the 1980s, it’s not quite Christmas time either, and it is not just the served turkey that can be cut with a knife – the tension can too.

Štefanija spends her days working a repetitive job in a small, cramped space. Behind the glass, tobacco shop workers are almost invisible to the buyers and the passers-by, although their jobs are an essential part of urban everyday life. Using hybrid form and stylization, the film depicts the working conditions in tobacco shops from the worker’s perspective.

In a world symbolically stylised by a circle, a square and a triangle, a conflict arises between the civilization of square-people, pyramid-people and sphere-people. The conflict ends in a total destruction of civilization. With the passage of time, we realise that a new, fused civilization has developed on the remnants of the old one. The film is dedicated to and inspired by the works of avant-garde artists El Lissitsky, Oskar Schlemmer, and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti.

The film traces the changing dynamics and the reversal of roles in a family that feels obligated to provide its eldest member with a dignified end, even when she refuses it. Wait for Me is a story about the relationship between a mother and daughter in their old age, who are permanently divided by the physical border created in the Yugoslav Wars, and about their attitude towards the inevitability of one of them dying.

A speculative journey in the footsteps of Neolithic figurines discovered in the former Eastern Bloc region. The anthropomorphic figurines symbolise the invisibility of women’s and minor histories, traced over a span of 6,000 years. The film combines elements of video installation, travelogue, ethnographic documentary and SF. The disintegration of one form is followed by the emergence of another, embodying the Neolithic figurine’s search for its own form, beyond the official memory and phallogocentric history.

Set in a post-communist society riddled with superstition, corruption and hope, three darkly humorous magical stories intertwine in a poignantly idiosyncratic exploration of God’s miracles.

Kupa region, Slovenia has made Croatia a somewhat unwilling buffer for the influx of the refugees coming through Bosnia. The fence led to the collapse of local tourism and a whole new set of dynamics were generated. The region has become the arena for extreme-right nationalists, human rights activists, politicians, police and border forces, as well as the migrants and refugees who are trying to reach Europe

The end of war is not the actual end. Even when presidents and heads of states announce victory, and the media are shouting PEACE from the front pages, the war remains chained to the country and its citizens. Ruins, dust, destroyed and abandoned cities are visible wounds that hide the invisible scars on people’s souls. This film is a representation of the universal resistance of the human spirit, capable of rising above destruction and death.
