Filmed on 16mm film, this visual expression is rooted in its archival materials and backed up by the poem by Hans Magnus Enzensberger. It speaks of the forgotten people, their lives and their deeds. These two Archives have been found on the flea market in Zagreb. One is of a famous architect and the other one is of a famous composer. This film ponders on this occurrence, on the vanishing of and forgetfulness of humans.

This short poetic fantasy tale describes the incredible life of a mystic man believed to have lived for several centuries. He spent all this time visiting cities and historically important sites, where he instigated unusual changes. A graceful and evocative painted animation on postcards creates a film about the fictionalisation of memories, symbols of identity and immortality.
Borne By the Birds

L.H.D.'s song Tzar of Premantura inspired this stop-frame animation showing the fictional process of healing and repairing a city (Sisak, Croatia) that had lost its former industrial strength and overall beauty. After the war and privatization came the pandemic and the earthquake that left the city scarred. But, broken and forgotten things can be fixed.

Moving Elements focuses on the creative processes that lead to making art. A car passes through all the stages of creative art process and becomes part of art works, as well as a player in abstract processes of creating. The film is meant as a tribute to filmmakers and films made in the golden age of the Zagreb School of Animation. To a certain extent it uses a visual language characteristic of the period – the 1960s and the 1970s.
