Meet the Jury: Petar Milat

Petar Milat will moderate the presentation of Tomislav Gotovac – Life as Experimental Film, a capital volume devoted to one of the most significant authors of the Croatian avant-garde cinema.

As the coordinator of Zagreb’s Multimedia Institute (Mama), Petar Milat has published many interesting volumes from the field of cultural theory, philosophy and history of film. This year, Mama, in association with the Tomislav Gotovac Institute and the Croatian Film Association, issued a monograph dedicated to one of the most significant authors of Croatian experimental film, Tomislav Gotovac.

Including a rich array of photographs and different archive materials, Tomislav Gotovac – Life as Experimental Film and its 48 chapters take a reader on a 400-pages-long journey explaining the making of Gotovac’s work and artistic procedures.

The book will be presented today at 4pm, in the presence of the author – director, screenwriter and film critic Slobodan Šijan, editors Petar Milat and Diana Nenadić and film critic and contributor Greg de Cuir. After the book presentation, Gotovac’s structural masterpiece Glenn Miller 1 (High School Playground 1) will be screened from a freshly developed and still unseen copy produced by the Croatian Film Association.
