Nebraska Nebraska

Alexander Payne / USA / 2013 / 115 min

Alexander Payne returns to his native Nebraska with a sweet and sour account of the quandaries of the elderly. Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

A poor old man living in Montana, Woody Grant gets a letter informing him that he has won a sweepstakes prize. Stubbornly persistent, he escapes repeatedly from his house to go to Nebraska to collect the prize despite his increasing dementia. His family try to convince him that it’s all a hoax but all in vain until one of his two sons mercifully offers to take his father by car. En route the father is injured, and the two must rest a few days in the small decaying Nebraska town where the father was born. The journey transforms into a re-encounter with the family’s past, and the time spent together enables the son and father to re-bond.

»I got the screenplay nine years ago. It's a story that's both funny and sad, a bit like life. The writer had really lived what happens in the story, so he's describing his personal experience. It's a film from the Depression era, which is why I wanted to make it in black and white. /.../ This is my first black and white film. I always wanted to make one. I'm a big film buff and I would say 95% of the films I watch are in black and white.«

Born in 1961 in Omaha (Nebraska, USA) to parents of Greek descent, Payne attended Stanford University, where he majored in Spanish and history. He then went on to study film at UCLA Film School. His university thesis film was screened at the Sundance Film Festival, which led to him being backed by Miramax to write and direct Citizen Ruth. Payne prefers to undertake small-scale projects, to have complete control over the movie, from script to cast.

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

Igor Bezinović

Wednesday, 17. 09. 2025 / 20:00 / Main 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.
