HOW I DID IT
Public Meeting with the Filmmakers

DUBINA DVA
DEPTH TWO
by Ognjen Glavonić
(Serbia, France, 2016, 80’)
Like in a thriller movie, Depth Two opens on a truck found in the Danube at the Serb-Romanian border: inside there were 55 corpses of Albanian civils, the hidden proof of a war crime. While NATO bombs fell on Belgrade, in Suva Reka, in a Kosovo asking for independence, the Serb police locked the village inhabitants in a pizza restaurant and slaughtered them brutally. Ognjen Glavonić leads us into a not too distant past, where the depositions of victims and oppressors do not spare us the pain and surreal atrocity of a story “deliberately buried in silence.”

FOTOGRAMA
THE FRAME
by Luís Henrique Leal, Caio Zatti
(Brazil, 2016, 9’)
The film-maker places his camera in front of the protective wall of a Brazilian city, and something unexpected slips into the frame – a detail that becomes key, inevitable. That film frame allows realizing a sophisticate travel-essay about the story and intricate web of social relationships that all images evoke.

HUAN YING
WELCOME
by Zhu Rikun
(China, Switzerland, 2016, 60’)
Like in a dark nightmare. During a survey in the Sichuan region (South-west China), Zhu Rikun is stopped by police and subjected to a long, exhausting questioning on the reasons why he was in that area. Like serpent’s coils slowly wrapping its prey, the words of the officers weave a web of questions, pressures, insinuations stifling the film-maker. He resists demurely but adamantly.
