Postcards

The film was developed through a series of improvised set ups working with both professional and amateur actors. The script is based on a textbook for learning Croatian as a foreign language and postcards sent from the United States to Croatia. The curriculum for teaching Croatian as a foreign language emphasizes the use of role-play, drama, expressive reading, staging fairy tales, writing and reading postcards. I used these teaching methods as the starting points from which to develop improvised and performative situations. (Ana Hušman)
