Zemira Alajbegović - Quick/Slow (00:11:47)
Production: Zavod ZANK / koprodukcija RTV Slovenija, 2004
The short film explores the modalities of time and connects them to different basic mental states of a human being. Peaceful and slow action in the garden, which we see at the beginning of the film is replaced by first melancholic and then hysteric scenes inside an apartment. The video thus deals with the distress of a modern human being.
