SUPPRESSION
(2010)
eksperimentalni film, mini DVD, boja, stereo, 22', 2010
Suppression – film dyptich is based upon Renata Poljak’s personal experience of her trip from Belgrade to Vukovar and what she faced according there of the relationship between the embattled Croatian and Serbian nations. Her work shows how she got manipulated and surprised by her own ‘non correct’ emotions.
Using an intimate and highly-poetic filmic language accompanied by her own story telling Poljak explores what she perceived to be people’s alarming suppression of history and their notions of the war. What manifests itself in a misreading of facts and problems in any way beyond the cosmetic, reminded her of similar situations among couples.
