KINO CROATIA: NEW FILMS
Fri, May 30, 2014 - Sun, Jun 1, 2014

This year Kino Croatia’s series opens with the latest hit comedy from director Vinko Brešan, THE PRIEST’S CHILDREN. A priest - albeit a phony one - plays a central role in Krsto Papić’s FLOWER SQUARE. Dalibor Matanić’s HANDYMEN follows a beleaguered housewife who becomes the object of three men’s affections. Bobo Jelčić’s tense look at the war legacy, A STRANGER, dominated the Pula Film Festival awards this year. And VIS-À-VIS examines a subject close to home for director Nevio Marasović - a filmmaker struggling with the autobiographical script for his next project.


DYSTOPIA GONE WILD: 30 YEARS AFTER 1984
Fri, May 16, 2014 - Sun, May 18, 2014

Over the decades, the movies have given George Orwell’s bleak vision in Nineteen Eighty-Four a variety of twists. In the 1970s, Michael York in LOGAN'S RUN and Robert Duvall in THX 1138 personified the individual struggling to break free of a repressive society. Director Michael Radford’s official adaptation of NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR was released, appropriately, in 1984; soon thereafter, Terry Gilliam’s BRAZIL underlined the Monty Pythonesque absurdity of a state’s relentless efforts to crush a single man. In the new millennium, V FOR VENDETTA, CHILDREN OF MEN and SPACEDISCO ONE show that, 30 years after 1984, dystopia remains a cinematic evergreen.
