Synopsis:
The main subject of the film is the unexpected arrival of the period and the protagonist’s perception of other people’s reactions towards her ‘condition’. As soon as the M arrives, the protagonist realises she is completely unprepared, since there are no menstrual pads or tampons in her purse. With that, an absurd mission filled with obstacles begins. She tries to keep the ‘red waterfall’ gushing between her legs hidden, which symbolises overthinking and a panicky state of mind. Through the protagonist’s actions, the author is questioning society and its relation to the individual. She also questions the attitude of the society towards period and how the individual deals with the same red taboo subject.

I won’t
2019 Adults 4 min
by Jasna Čagalj
It’s an animal with memories. It doesn’t have a tail, it has protruding eyes and strong extremities. Its skin is slimy. I try to catch it but it’s impossible. It always gets away with ease. Secure in its ability to escape, it did not expect to be kicked. The force of the blow robs it of all grace, it no longer exudes strength. It resembles a piece of fabric being blown in the wind. It has teeth, big enough to be noticed. They are all still accounted for. It’s a frog. It is accompanied by four beings. They do not have a tail, but they do have arms and are not humans. They love to eat at the table. While they eat, they do not talk. They are not frogs but they could easily be mistaken for one of them.

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.
