Pocket cinema: The Children of Darfur by Camilla Nielsson
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’…

Readaholic: Manga – Forbidden Dance
OK, folkz! It’s just about perfect time for a new section on my blog, and that would be Readaholic. Yeah, we’re gonna read together some selected (read: free) books, articles and comics I will dig for you on the web.
It’s not gonna be very demanding or something, promise… Coz, I know that it’s not the same to have printed book in your hands… I don’t wanna make any comparison with anything, right?!
Slaves
Time to begin my reviews on films I saw on Zagreb Dox Film Festival that occupied me completely over the last five days.
Although I started watching films which were selected in the programme entitled Happy Dox, I’m gonna start with film from the competition programme and that’s animated film Slaves by Hanna Heilborn & David Aronowitsch.
