Morning
Vojtěch Domlátil (self-produced)
Czech Republic, 2019, 3'33"

Morning. Coffee. Breakfast. Shower. And then? A trip outside? Or a trip inside? A breathing meditation wrapped in the disguise of a feather-light experimental drawing animation.

Portrait En Pied De Suzanne / Portrait of Suzanne
Izabela Plucińska (Clay Traces/Films de Force Majeure/The Las Sztuki Foundation)
Germany, France, Poland, 2019, 14'55"

In a small hotel, a man tries to stop his hunger for love by eating excessively. Unexpectedly, his left foot transforms into his lost lover, Suzanne. Still, this is just the beginning of a surreal story, made of plasticine, about loneliness, jealousy and love.

Radiovizija – Govori Mihovil Logar / Radiovision – Mihovil Logar Speaking
Miloš Tomić (Platforma)
Serbia, 2019, 3'01"

A free animation play with broken plastic pieces, broken glass, crystal decorations, feathers, old photos and gummy candy ... as an attempt to summarize the rich and music-dedicated life of Mihovil Logar.

Passage
Anja Sidler (Schattenkabinett)
Switzerland, 2019, 6'40"

Two very different people set off on an adventure and leave their familiar environment behind. Unexpectedly, their paths cross. A film about yearning for change and the value of coincidence in a society shaped by individual development and the pressure to achieve.

Liliana
Milanka Fabjančič (Zvviks)
Slovenia, 2019, 6'53"

Young Liliana is the epitome of modesty, dedication, and hard work. These facets are even more pronounced because of her desire to achieve her goal. The tale lies beyond time and space, nostalgically reminding us of the past.

Kosmonaut / Cosmonaut
Kaspar Jancis (Eesti Joonisfilm)
Estonia, 2019, 11'37"

A hero remains a hero. The story of a senior soviet spaceman.

Lidérc úr / Mr. Mare
Luca Tóth (Boddah/Sacrebleu Productions)
Hungary, France, 2019, 19'33"

Looking at an x-ray image, a young handsome man is horrified to learn that the weird, tumour-like lump on his chest is the top of a tiny plump man’s head. Nested in his body, he is waiting to be born… Mr. Mare is a surreal animated chamber play, set in a ‘haunted’ claustrophobic space, in which we witness the dynamics of unrequited love as we follow the relationship of an oddly co-dependent pair.

Palestine in 1936. Uprisings against colonial rule are escalating. Yusuf, a peasant’s son, works for an influential family in Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the unrest. But history is unforgiving. With an increasing number of Jewish immigrants fleeing antisemitism in Europe and the Palestinian population uniting in the largest and longest uprising against thirty years of British rule, conflict seems increasingly inevitable.

Third World Treći svijet

Arsen Oremović

Tuesday, 01. 09. 2026 / 19:00 / Small Hall

Third World is more than just a documentary about Haustor, the legendary Zagreb band that left its mark on the former Yugoslavia’s music scene. It is the story of two creative opposites: Darko Rundek and Srđan Sacher. Through candid conversations, a studio reunion, and a wealth of archival material, the film reveals how the two artists’ sensitivity to the magic of everyday life once united their creative worlds – creating a third.
