Hunting Bears
The idea of the film is to follow several artists who are involved in graffiti art, all around the world (US, UK, France) to show their aims and hopes, their problems, obstacles they face when doing their art, as sometimes they might even end up in jail. Through their explanations of how the art works, we would like to form some sort of visual lexicon of the art that is very present but still very marginalized.
Such A Game
A Yugoslavian journey through young generations, the memory of Tito and the wars, until the lust for an independent identity. Was it Worth? War can always be considered a kind of “game”, a cruel, merciless “game” in the hands of few, powerful and eager men who move the destiny of the people like marionettes, deciding, not only geographical borders, but even those of humans, intellects and societies: So far as to have the power to decide on the life and the dead of those considered “the masses”.
