Bela noć! / The White Night!

Video Bela noć, po istoimenoj pesmi srpskog slem pesnika Gorana Živkovića Gorkog, iz njegove nove zbirke pesama Psihoslajdovi.
Goran se ove nedelje takmiči na Evropskom slem šampionatu u Tartuu, Estonija, pa sam napravila jedan video za njega. Srećno!

Video Bela noć! (The White Night!), made on the poem by same title by Serbian slam poet Goran Živković Gorki, from his upcoming poetry book Psihoslajdovi (Psychoslides).

Goran is also competing this week on European Poetry Slam Championship and the 6th interdisciplinary culture festival “Crazy Tartu" in Tartu, Estonia, as a Serbian Slam Champion. 

Good luck!

Kratki film "Narodna kuhinja" / Short film "Soup Kitchen"

Kratki film NARODNA KUHINJA snimljen je po tekstu Univerzum za dolar, pesnika Siniše Stojanovića Sinistera, koji je i glavni protagonista filma, dok su Dragana Nikolić i on potpisani kao jedini autori, reditelji, montažeri, snimatelji...
Radnja filma se odvija u ruiniranoj zgradi Livnice Industrije Motora Rakovica, objektu koji datira još iz dvadesetih godina XX veka (1927.godine je tu napravljen prvi avionski motor na Balkanu) fabrici koja je bila okosnica industrije i radništva do samog kraja veka, dok sada, iako i dalje poseduje radne kapacitete, služi kao groblje tehnologije, dokumentacije i zalutalih životinja. 
Autori filma uz pomoć produkcije Poezin, predstavljaju ovaj filmsko-poetski poduhvat, kao distopičnu ilustraciju i reakciju na divlje privatizacije, nezaposlenost, korupciju, površnost i lakomost u odnosu na propadanje društva, ekonomije.
