Encounters
Vladimir Petek Sretanje, HR, 1963, 8', 35 mmUnrestrained by formal education and open-minded, as a very young film amateur Petek was the most adventurous in testing all the things that can be expressed through the film media beside the standard filmmaking. He scratched and painted the film, animated drawings on it, perforated, glued narrow format onto wider, cut film alongside and glued two different halves together, used pixelation, etc. But his obsession withmedia in his early films was related to his boyish enthusiasm towards maiden beauty, so he made some of the most beautiful art-portrait films in Croatian cinema. Encounters is an anthological portrait-film, visually enriched with a great repertoire of intervention on the film stock.
