Together with the Berlin-based Majmun Films, NOSOROGI took over the development of a docu-essay by Jakob Krese, whose recent films were shown at venues such as Visions du Réel, Rotterdam and DOKLeipzig. The project proposes a journey through the archive footage to cover a half-century rise and fall of Yugoslavia, but also an intimate portrait of a family defined by the need to resist.

Igor Bezinović's new docu-fiction Fiume o morte was one of five documentaries supported by the Board of Management of Eurimages at the final yearly meeting. The film reconstructs strange events in the autumn of 1919, when Italian poet D'Annunzio sieged the town of Rijeka - Fiume and declared it his own pocket state. During a short period that followed, Rijeka - Fiume became an unexpected centre for progressive tendencies in arts, but also a time fuse for growingly noxious nationalistic ideas.
