We’re swapping two films!
Želimir Žilnik, one of the leading directors of the Yugoslav Black Wave of the 1960s and 70s, will be guest at the Filmmuseum Munich on Friday, 10 October at 9 p.m. His film Eighty Plus (Restitucija, ili, San i java stare garde) was awarded the Fipresci Prize at the GoEast Festival.
The most recent film from veteran Želimir Žilnik reflects on his own artistic journey by following the story of a man who moves back to his country to reclaim the home that had previously been owned by the government for decades, and now finally can be released to the remaining heirs. It takes the protagonist on a voyage into both the past and present, allowing him to cross paths with a range of characters, each one adding something new and compelling to his journey back home. A film that takes its time and invites us to take a memorable trip with a few fascinating characters, Eighty Plus is a solid, well-made work from a master who has rarely been more honest about many of the inevitabilities that we all have to face at one point or another. – International Cinephile Society
What Does That Nature Say to You by South Korean veteran director Hong Sang-soo will instead be shown on Tuesday, 14 October at 9 p.m. at the Filmmuseum.
