Screening with Q&A
Host: Diana Nenadić

Not even after 15 years of directing has Igor Bezinović surrendered to the call of pure fiction or the ‘joys’ of narration. Quite the contrary, for his zone of creative comfort he has chosen quite an ‘uncomfortable’ genre, where working conditions are what you make them, and (ethical) responsibility to the human subject and reality is much bigger. But that’s what makes the challenges of imperfect reality all the harder to resist, especially for a filmmaker who took a hard stand against it and wants to change it, testing all the potential of the documentary practice and contemporary media in doing so. Hence, a part of his filmography is seen as a walk on the edge, be it the social margin where many of his subjects live, or (discarded) objects, or genre boundaries where the documentary marries elements of fiction, experimentation, animation and vice versa in a playful and exploratory way. On the other hand, spurned by forceful activism, Bezinović was often in the heart of turbulent social events, spontaneously registering what only documentary practice can – raw reality. Bezinović’s Author’s Night will walk us through the selected creative meanders of his work thus far.
