Synopsis:
Our home is a fragile flower. Milk and honey. Cocoa and hell. Everyone pets their own bunny. The feeling is lovely. Vanilla cake... A moody portrayal of the moment we stop loving others and fall in love with our fantasies. If we cannot understand each other, maybe our avatars can find a common language? But whatever lies below the surface should stay that way.

Iris
2020 16+ 9 min
by Lucija Bužančić
Iris is a girl who fell in love with her own reflection and one day disappeared in the bathtub. Inspired by the Narcissus myth. This Greek hero has become the first person in the world to comprehend art and the first person to fall in love with an image rather than the reality. His is hence a story about vanity, as well as about the perception of art. The motivation of this film is to refocus on the female character, Iris, and to retell the old story from her point of view in the social media era.

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.

Smile
2019 16+ 5 min
by Matea Kovač
The film questions the universal understanding of love, connecting that phenomenon with the phenomenon of rigid consumerism. Traders tend to dehumanize the human smile by continuously and aggressively offering goods and services on the market of absurdity. Osmijeh represents an act of resistance against uprooted social norms.

The cycling season is nearing its grand finale. During the final race, the two men in the lead are competing for more than the Grand Trophy; they are fighting for the affection of a lady and fulfilment of their erotic fantasies.
