Oktavijan Miletić

A docudrama about baroque art in Croatia.

Film about a hat which changes its owners, until it ends up in the possession of a beggar who collects charity with it.

About a gentle young man, a misunderstood poet whose printed poems the ruffians use to wrap sausages. His misfortune is that he falls in love with an independent young athlete, with a modern worldview, who is interested in sports rather than poetry. Amadeus follows the young woman, brings her flowers and gives her one of his poems, at which point she, instead of offering tenderness, challenges him to a boxing match.

A propaganda film about the first anniversary of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH).

A character with an overactive imagination witnesses strange events. Reality or fiction? Dive into the worrying universe of film noir.

It's based on a not-so-innocent practical joke. Two men and two women are chatting in a evening indoor setting, and although there are no intertitles in the film, one could suppose that the topic of the conversation is “the night”, or “fear”, as the film’s title suggests.

A mysterious consul, blessed with the power to hypnotise, manages to push young women to suicide to cash in their insurance, without having their blood on his hands. At the death of his sister, a young detective decides to hold an investigation into this curious character, at the risk of falling into the trap himself... Oktavijan Miletić considered to be the father of Croatian cinema, was one of the pioneers of avant-garde cinema in Croatia and shows this once again in this film.

A documentary about Croatia's capital aspirations of becoming metropolis. Camera follows everyday life of random city-goers. Title cards bring interesting plot twists, indeed making this film a mockumentary. One of the earliest preserved pieces of cinema in Croatia.

A 35mm short silent.

A film novella about a young dreamer in which the real world and the dream world are intertwined. After meeting a young lady in a park, but seeing her indifferent to his romantic overtures, the young man gets drunk and falls asleep. In his dreams he relives the meeting with the young women, which ends in his attempting to kiss her and subsequently falling of the bench. The fall is simultaneously the moment of awakening from his alcoholic stupor, which reveals the reality of his situation. The humor of the story stems from a formal reversal of the plot, a point at which a dream is unexpectedly separated from reality.
