As our festival story steps into its second day, Oona Mosna, programmer at Media City Film Festival in Ontario, begins her new daily story cycle. At 4pm, SC Cinema's floor will be taken by our grand jury members to present a three-day triptych, a sort of audiovisual mixtape of different genres and ideas. 

Welcome to Student centre at 6pm and Croatian program Reflexes, festival opening and Competition program 1 at 8pm, and a double expanded cinema performances at 10pm. See you there! 

On Wednesday we start with a film workshop by OJOBOCA. Ojoboca is a story of two people who took the phrases 'filmmaking' and 'film work' very liberally and opted for an archaic method of film production to materialise projections of the present real and imaginary (is there a difference between the two?) worlds as feverish visions of the future of mankind.

The brainchildren and complex relationships of our Jury members towards the film medium have been filtered into three presentations for our traditional late afternoon festival slot. The jury members' selections are more than just a prelude to the (expanded) film programmes in the evening hours. Rather, they give us a chance to observe parallels through history and the deafening chaos of forms and ideas we call experimental film. 

While visiting the Chinese ghost town of Yujiapu, Karl Lemieux, a prominent young Canadian celluloid enthusiast, and BJ Nilsen, a Swedish composer with an ear attuned to industrial soundscapes, scratched on the surface of monumental metal tracks and concrete blocks, empty shells that forgot their once planned use. 

An indifferent glow of sea waves as a stage for the human existential cycle. The waves that chew on the shore like a grinning carnivore denture, luring humanoid microbes in black to their insatiable stomachs. Spots of sunlight pierce through the shrubbery and tree tops of dishevelled nature and form dynamic patterns along the way. Space is a place of refuge and a place for drama/plot.
