Pokretni elementi/Moving Elements
Marko Tadić (Zagreb film/Kreativni sindikat)
Croatia, 2016, digital, 6'30”

The film speaks about the creative processes that lead to the creation of works of art. As we follow a car that goes through the stages of the artistic process, it becomes a part of works of art, but also a player in the abstract processes of creation.

BEER by Charles Bukowski
Nerdo (Nerdo)
Italy, 2015, digital, 2'15”

A free interpretation of the poem “Beer” by Charles Bukowski, the composition is a manifesto of the author’s way of life. This is why we decided to go inside the author’s mind, which is not a safe journey. A brain solo without a filter, a tale of ordinary madness, showing how much loneliness and decadence can be hidden inside a genius mind.

Gaidot Jauno gadu/Waiting For the New Year
Vladimir Leschiov (LUNOHOD)
Latvia, 2016, digital, 8’

A lonely woman street cleaner's letter to an unknown person, written on the first day of the New Year: a year spent observing the seasons and dreaming of a miracle for the following New Year.

Gledam sliko/I Look at the Picture
Davorin Marc (Davorin Marc)
Slovenia, 2015, digital, 1'33”

Interlacing. Interlace.

Planemo
Veljko Popović (Lemonade 3d/Krupni kadar)
Croatia 2015, digital, 13' 25”
3D

Planemo is a solitary wanderer, a sentinel of the galaxy. It is an orphaned world, a celestial body booted from its solar system by the chaos of planetary migration.
In a society where everyone mindlessly orbits around their daily routines, what happens when a person gets ejected from the system? They might just find themselves rapidly pushed out of the habitable zone.

Minotaurs/Minotaur
Karlis Vitols (Air Productions/Kloijhi Animation Studio)
Latvia, 2016, digital, 8'30”

While his Dad is at work, the little Minotaur tries to find playmates. In the endless labyrinth, he only manages to meet mythological characters, busy with their own ambitions.

Linnugripp/Bird Flu
Priit Tender, Hefang Wei (Eesti Joonisfilm)
Estonia, 2016, digital, 9'40”

A story about a man and a snake, an alcoholised penguin and the disappearance of birds. A story about an apple tree and apples, about roots and rootlessness. A story about paradise and about the expulsion from it.

A Single Rose Can Be My Garden... A Single Friend, My World
Nils Hedinger (Nils Hedinger Trickproduktion)
Switzerland, 2016, digital, 2'35”

A sweet film about the importance of friendship.

Albert
Felix Weisz (Felix Weisz)
Austria, 2016, digital, 7'10”

Albert makes a composed impression. He wears a tie and shirt, from which neatly trimmed chest hair somewhat playfully flashes through. In overall appearance, Albert is a slightly spidery computer-animated figure, who moves through life against a – likewise computer-animated – structurally-minimalist background.

Ariadnina nit/Claude Luyet (Studio GDS/Luyet)
Switzerland, 2016, digital, 12'50”

Ariadne is playing with a ball. She is interrupted as her mother calls her inside. She loses her ball, along with her childhood. The 20th Century and Ariadne‘s life play out on her balcony. As Ariadne nears the end of her life, she regains her lost childhood.

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

Igor Bezinović

Thursday, 29. 01. 2026 / 17:00 / Small Hall

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
