A SLICE OF BLOOD AND HONEY: Experimental Cinema From Macedonia
A SLICE OF BLOOD AND HONEY: Experimental Cinema From Macedonia.
Macedonia (a breakaway nation from Yugoslavia) is a small, mountainous country in South Eastern Europe. Against the struggles of economic hardship, ethnic tensions, and bitter Balkan politics, it has a flourishing youth culture. Artists are reacting to the genre films and contemporary art movements from the western world while at the same time commenting on their own culture as it moves from a provincial, socialist state to one with all the trappings of a cosmopolitan member of the European Union. With this program, well be showcasing some of the short films and documentaries coming from students, experimental filmmakers and visual artists. Films include a documentary about Skopjes underground radio station as it saved from being taken off the air by party-loving and outspoken protestors, a Svankmayer inspired animation featuring a clay homunculus pursued by nails, and a short sci-fi film about a womans attempt to escape from imprisonment at the hands of a maleficent medical staff. This program is supported by a grant from CEC ArtsLink.
