Experimental film
(1080p, 5.1 surround sound, 17′, 6”m, color, Croatian language with English subtitles)

Synopsis:
The experimental film “Here and There “explores the fluidity of spatial concepts through scenes of rowing in an endless fog. By deconstructing the fixed boundaries between here and there, the film suggests that spatial belonging is never a definitive line on a map, but a continuous, fragmented process of negotiating one’s identity with the outside world. In the whiteness, horizons are erased and opposites dissolve; there becomes merely a postponed here, and the movement between them turns into a search for an image of a place that could entirely inhabit the narrator.
