Under False Colour
With whom shall one identify with, where shall one find community? With major corporations, which already have been left with community-building duties by society? With a collective fear, which welds together and works through separation? Or with the mixed flag, which symbolizes the homeland of one’s parents as well as the country, in which one was raised and whose language one speaks?
Territorial Marking
The filmmaker of this film says: "I’m marking the area surrounding the home of my mother in Nogent-sur-Vernisson (Loiret, France) with the flag of Romania. I marked a Romanian territory in France. My mother left the country when I was 20, being one of those who left in the first waves of immigration after the acceptance in the EU. She works as a doctor and has her own private business close to Montargis, France. The sound represents my mother’s reaction to a work I had planned to do in Paris, on July 14th, 2014. I wanted to take yellow graffiti spray and transform all of the French flags from Champs Elysee into Romanian ones."

Black Sheep
This observational documentary portrays two brothers and their relationship to the EDL – a right wing street protest movement. The older of the two, a young man full of energy and idealism, is driven by a curious fascination, the younger, still a child, hesitates. The closer they come to the demonstration, the more articulate their attitudes show.

Fragments untitled #3
The 35th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Zagreb, Yugoslavia on 5 May 1990. The first republican free elections held in Croatia in April and May 1990 were followed by a political debate of the ethnic relations between the Croats and the Serbs in SR Croatia. This resulted in The Log Revolution, an insurrection that would escalate into the Croatian War of Independence. FRAGMENTS UNTITLED #3 places the event in broader European context.

Symbolic Threats
Poetry or threat? An act of surrender or perhaps art? These were the theories that New York puzzled over last summer. How can one incident be interpreted in so many ways? By means of press reports, Symbolic Threats allows the public at large to express their extreme disparity of interpretation. Inspired by the heated debate over the two „White American Flags“ that suddenly appeared on the towers of New York City’s iconic Brooklyn Bridge, the film asks what kind of societal scope art has in the present day. What happens when threatened freedom reinstates art with the element of danger? Who or what makes it into a threat? Are we safe in the city? What is next?
