I saw the film Field, Clowns, Apple… by Russian filmmaker Shota Gamisonia back in 2008 at One Take Film Festival – biennial international festival of films shot in one take… I’ve blogged about the festival in the context of Christopher Doyle‘s photography exhibition…
I really wouldn’t be a good blogger, if I wouldn’t blog about documentary Book of Miri by Katrine Philp, a film that I saw in the competitive programme of ZagrebDox Festival last month.
This week I’m going to be mostly concentrated on watching great documentary films at the festival ZagrebDox… Thus, this post is strongly connected with its programme… Camilla Nielsson will present within the programme her latest film ‘Cities on Speed – Mumbai Disconnected‘… and as an intro to moviecholic atmosphere here is her award winning documentary from 2007 ‘The Children of Darfur’…

Dziga Vertov‘s The Man with the Movie Camera with the 2003 Cinematic Orchestra synonymous soundtrack for today’s electro-jazzy downtempo mood… Ninja Tune‘s Cinematic Orchestra in their moment that’s for sure…
Chao Gan’s striking documentary The Red Race was the winner of Zagreb Film Festival in 2008. This year Gan was a jury member in documentary competition of the same festival. It was really a great opportunity to talk with him about his carrier, The Red Race and development of documentary genre in China.
