Production: V.S. VIDEO/Forum Ljubljana, 1992
Video deals with the theme of war in a parodic and grotesque manner. With Chroma key procedure the two main protagonists or shall we say antagonists - evil and conniving political leaders are set inside a TV studio, where so called Royal game takes place. War battle metaphorically packed as a twisted game of chess, which sees real people as toys in the hands of malicious and greedy politics, is getting more and more insane and uncontrollable. Performative character of the video allows the actors to exaggera...

A stable rhythm that runs through the whole video unifies all different scenes and brakes the seeming symbolic differences. The video would work as an ideal visualisation of Levi-Strauss's anthropological theory developed in h...

Duba Sambolec - Collectors #2 (15:15)
Production: Duba Sambolec, 2001/2002
Video work is a research in the field of personal memories, their collected fragments, of the articulation of holes in the memory and missing evidence. The whispering of the author follows the whole line of recordings in a nondramatic, mystical and calming manner and works as a narration. Shots transition from focused to blurry in a slow rhythm. The video is limited with a round frame. In a series of works Collectors the author deals with an individual trapped in a subordinate position and with personal mem...

Toni Poljanec - Hope and Despair (00:29:05)
Production: Hupa Brajdič produkcija, 2016
In August 2015, Toni Poljanec and Tina Glavič Novak travelled to the Greek island of Lesbos. They shot a documentary made up of interviews with refugees who survived a traumatic journey across the sea from Turkey on overloaded rubber boats. When refugees land on the shores of the European Union, the prospect of hope soon turns into hopelessness. Their new reality becomes overcrowded and poorly maintained refugee camps. The dreams of a better life seem unattainable. (Source: Toni Poljanec)

Đejmi Hadrović - All About the Veil (00:01:57)
Production: Đ.H., 2016
Art students were asked questions while their body language was observed. Main purpose of the idea was to flm an experimental interview about the object called veil. They had to wear it in order to explain how it feels like. My personal aim of this art project was to deconstruct the semantics of veil itself and give it a new meaning. I have chosen art students because they are a specifc social group, which is well known for “looking outside of the box”. It turned out, that no matt...

Toni Poljanec, Neža Knez, Danilo Milovanović - Y? (57:03)
Production: Projekt Y? (Toni Poljanec, Neža Knez, Danilo Milovanović, Luka Erdani), 2020
Y? is a road-trip documentary shot in 2019 during the journey from Kragujevac (Serbia) to Mercer (Pennsylvania, USA) with a Yugo coral 55. Our four-member team took the Yugo – a catalyst of myths and facts within a specific time and space – for a ride into a contemporary context. The main topic of the movie is the Yugoslavian “business of the century”: the export of the Yugo to the United States. However, the Yugo spiraled downward in a relatively short time in the US, as it went fro...
