Known For

Two young men from Eastern Europe take a pilgrimage to Santiago, Spain. Upon arrival at one of the most northwestern points of Europe, the south-easterners find themselves foreign both to the identity of their surroundings, as well as to their own. Without realizing it, they embark on a pilgrim-esque exploration of their own identities and the religiously-spiritual and nationally-sexual differences between them.
As One

An Irishman finds out he is part Slovene and also Japanese. On the way to coming closer to his roots and finding out his family's heritage the man faces the rough reality.
Toshiro's Heritage

Ambiental documentary short, takes a closer, deeper look at the wild parties on the central beach in Split, Croatia, that started to take place every night after the clubs close. The filming took place over several nights, all summed up to six minutes to see glimpses of a giant party of young tourists with no control or authority (the film took place before the police started to make the parties a bit more orderly). Feelings of repetition until decline comes to the forefront as every single party, like a wave on the beach, happens in the same fashion, over and over again while the 'wave' becomes quieter with each stroke.
Disco Europe

An inquiry into the international sense of democracy. Through a set of highly stylized "tablo" frames, their spontaneous manners tell a short love story.
Half a Lemon

A documentary about Vesna, a single mother who sustains her five children through the small business of making traditional homemade bread.
The Bread of Mother Tradition

A short hybrid documentary about Dujo, a young student who must quickly find a new place to live after being abruptly evicted by his landlord, all while trying to continue his studies in the big city. Through a blend of staged scenes and real-life interactions with landlords, filmed by the protagonist, the film deals with the sharp rise of rent prices in Croatia's capital city.
