Synopsis:
The story follows the key dramatic moments of Miroslav Krlež’s “The Ballade of Petrica Kerempuh”, accompanied by Kajkavian verses. The grotesque character of Bourek’s drawing poprime u pokretu tražiće dimenzije krležijanskog sižentanja pastrišti, kao voracious visions of blood, fire and fog on Croatian territory during the war against the Turks. Panoramas, movements of the flesh, insistence on dramatic events, all this is a new and unique initiative in our cartoon film.

Tup Tup
1972 Adults 10 min
by Nedeljko Dragić
The too fast pace of life in polluted cities makes people sick. Neuroses are an everyday occurrence. Overcrowding, pollution and noise are enemies no. 1. What can happen to a man who is irritated by some sound while he wants to read his newspaper in peace, is the subject of this film. From a calm everyday person exposed to constant sound bombardment, a person becomes dangerous. He is able to tear down and destroy. But maybe it’s all just a fairy tale, because each of us carries everything that accumulates in us during our short human life.
