Having the unpleasant, but highly necessary topic in mind, and the blend of filmmaking craft and ethics by Gavran, One of Us has to be considered as an exceptionally important piece of documentary filmmaking.
By the description and by the design of the opening credits, one might assume that Antiotpad is a piece of genre filmmaking, perhaps a kind of youth thriller. However….
Microcassette is a film hard to label in any way, which is clear right from the disclaimer at the very beginning stating that some parts of the story are not true, so we can take it as a work of fiction more than a documentary.
Black Sun connects the dots between the eclipse in the real world and its protagonist’s inner eclipse in a stylistically polished way.
Realistically shot, in Cinemascope that highlights the rough, concrete urban vista of Split projects, by almost exclusively hand-held camera operated by Tomislav Sutlar, and accompanied by the soundtrack composed of the Croatian and Serbian trap hits, Snitch plays almost like an anthropological study with Deni as an example.
However autobiographical in its core, Summer Fruits is, after all, a fiction film in which Lukić demonstrates that he can also work with actors.
For the most of people outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the name of Dino Pečenković doesm’t ring any bells. His involvement with Mevlid Jašarević’s terrorist attack on the American Embassy in Sarajevo, for which he was also tried as an accomplice, is more of a footnote.
‘Outside the Oranges Are Blooming’ premiered at the last year’s edition of Dok.Leipzig, before opening domestically at Doc.Lisboa (it is a Portuguese-Serbian co-production). Currently it plays at DokuFest’s online edition in Balkan competition.
