Nikola Đurić / Yugoslavia / 1973 / Czech Premiere / 8 min.


synopsis

This structuralist film translates Rimbaud’s famous sonnet onto the film screen, thus placing it within the context of cinema. Where Rimbaud associated vowels with colours, the film represents them using different forms of video manipulation or camerawork – for instance, the letter “I” is represented by a jump cut.

biography

Serbian experimental filmmaker Nikola Đurić (1949) began as a member of the amateur Academic Film Club and today is one of the best-known representatives of Serbia’s alternative film scene. His works are characterized by elements of conceptual and structuralist art.
