Twenty-seven-year-old Robyn Davidson decides to make a solo trek of over 2700 km across the Australian desert, accompanied by her dog Diggity and four camels. National Geographic is ready to finance the challenging expedition on the condition their photographer can document it. Giving up her solitude is something she reluctantly accepts. After having provided one of the magazine’s most successful features of the 1970s, Davidson elaborated her story into a bestselling classic of travel literature. (English spoken)

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.
