MOTIVI / THEMES, 06:30, (Zagreb Film, 2019)
The film Themes is an animated journey through a series of art themes accompanied by encyclopedia definitions. The seemingly educational presentation of Western figurative painting is actually a visual and aural sequence of fleeing war and trying to enter Europe. The art themes transform into documentary everyday scenes in an absurdist contrast between the image and the message, the form and the function, the objective and the subjective. A journey through the humanist tradition of European painting clashes with the real tragedy of current-day immigration crisis.
