Log Jam: The Snake
Alexei Alexeev (Studio Baestarts)
Hungary, 2008, 1'

A Girl Named Elastika
Guillaume Blanchet (Guillaume Blanchet)
Canada, 2013, 3'30''

Elastika is not like any other little girl. First, because she is made of elastics. Also because her universe is a land of cork. Her journey is also one of a kind, as she jumps from one building to another, crosses an ocean solo or travels to space holding on to a firework rocket. Her adventure, shot in stop motion, required over 10,000 pictures.

Igor Bezinović

Sunday, 14. 12. 2025 / 19:30 / Small Hall

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
