THE FORGOTTEN
(2002)
Documentary, BETA SP, colour, 35'
In the village of Pećno in Žumberak hills, fifty kilometers from Croatian metropolis, life has remained the same for decades. So close, but at the same time so far away, live the last twenty inhabitants of this picturesque wilderness. Pictures and sounds portraying the 'forgotten' and their wrinkled faces fighting their everyday battles with nature speak for themselves.
Awards: Best director and score at the 11th Days of Croatian film, 2002, award Oktavijan (Croatian Film Critics’ Award) for best short documentary.
