"I enjoy creation, the hormone of happiness is secreted for me when I create, and for them when they subjugate someone, do some malice, take revenge. And when they count the stolen money. That's why we can't understand each other. We are different people"

Motaz Malhis: Something Fragile has reached people across languages and geographies
"I don't think that a film can ever be or stay out of politics, because every image already carries a certain point of view. What matters is whether the film is aware of it or hides behind the idea of neutrality, which often only reinforces the existing power structures," says Motaz Malhis, the protagonist of the film "Voice of Hind Rajab".

Black humor, brutality and a grain of hope
Karmadona, written and directed by Aleksandar Radivojević, is imperfect, but authorially consistent. It's a film that not everyone will want to see – but those who go along with it will get an intense, disturbing and occasionally fascinating experience.

Screenwriters: Copyright law is a facade, it does not protect creators
The draft copyright law is a facade law and does not offer the legal certainty to creators required by EU directives, even though it was ostensibly done to harmonize with the EU, scriptwriters say

Director of the Invisible
Three colors they seem like the work of someone who has studied psychology all his life. "Blue" can be used in lessons about grieving and recovery from loss, with suicide attempts, loss of boundaries and their re-establishment, escape from people and the discovery of love, while "White" is an excellent representation of men's fear of impotence and all defenses against it, and "Red" is a portrait of kindness, solidarity and self-sacrifice
To Meet the Oscars: A Short Cartoon
Between emotions and fears
If on March 15 we follow the broadcast of that dazzling film festival in Los Angeles, we must not lose sight of the fact that the art of the international short animated film is still preserved where it has always germinated: on the historical coordinates of the festivals in Zagreb and Annecy, as well as on the maps of small, extremely selective festivals throughout Europe.

How is it possible that almost every fourth citizen of Croatia went to the cinema to watch a film about the marriage of a Serb and a Croatian woman, and that hundreds of thousands attended Thompson's concerts? How do young men, dressed in black, march through Split and ban a folkloric performance by a group from Novi Sad, while at the same time Serbian folk music is heard at parties all over Croatia? Do these people live in different worlds, in their own informational and cultural bubbles, or do they all intertwine

"Gara became Prometheus in the battle with the forces, and she recognized this when she said that she was happy that her story evokes the stories of many women throughout the ages. It was especially important to me that from the culture of heroes and warriors that I come from, we are bringing a story about women, who as a rule are forgotten by history."
