Body cinema: Dangerous Games by Marina Abramovic

July 26, 2009

Finding an performance artist who hasn’t been influenced or don’t have a deep respect to the work of Marina Abramovic would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, really. Marina Abramovic, the Queen of Performance Art… I couldn’t believe it when I found online her short experimental film Dangerous Games.

Burma VJ

March 1, 2009

Striking and haunting documentary ‘Burma VJ – Reporting From a Closed Country‘ was certainly for me the best film of this year’s Zagreb Dox programme.

I’m so glad that this film got a special recognition in the competition and Movies That Matters Award for best film dealing with human rights issues.

Slaves

Time to begin my reviews on films I saw on Zagreb Dox Film Festival that occupied me completely over the last five days.
