Besedila z delavnic

V sklopu filmskokritiškega festivalskega programa Ostrenje pogleda organiziramo nekajdnevne filmskokritiške delavnice, na katerih v sproščenem vzdušju gledamo filme, o njih poglobljeno razmišljamo in razpravljamo, premlete misli pa oblikujemo v kritiške zapise, ki nastajajo postopoma in ob izčrpnih komentarjih mentorice. V pogovore vključujemo tudi avtorje ter filmske in festivalske delavce in jih nato skušamo ujeti v zapise različnih oblik. Končna besedila sproti objavljamo na tej strani.

“This is the closest I can get to love”

How can you capture love? Not just the butterflies and passion, but all the intricate layers of it. The film How to Fall Out of Love (Jak się odkochać, 2025) by Varvara Zarytska grabbed the camera and tried to get us as close as possible to love and capture its intimate, raw, and naked parts. The camera could be perceived as the main protagonist. We can observe a unique perspective of...

White to Red: Exploring Femininity and Power through Visual Symbolism

The short student film White to Red (თეთრიდან წითლამდე, 2024), directed by Georgian filmmaker Liza Chaduneli, explores the theme of catcalling and the violation of personal boundaries that women often face. Rather than addressing the issue in a direct way, the director approaches it through carefully constructed visual symbolism and the use of colour, which gradually reveals the meani...

When You Are (Not) Alone

Walz Alone (Walzer Allein, HFF München, 2025), the short film by Felix Friedlein and Johannes Rockstuhl, has a shaky, lonesome, anti-musical starting point inside an empty — or what seems to be an empty — music bar. The building seems old and nostalgic. The lighting is soft, the furniture is worn down, the signs are handwritten. The protagonist, simply called ‘Gast’ (guest in English), ent...

Reflection on the student film My Own Body (Katica Kozma, 2024)

If one were to define an eating disorder based on sound, they would most likely know or at least imagine how bulimia or binge eating sounds. But what about anorexia? What does the absence of food and the act of eating sound like? Hungarian student director Katica Kozma presents her audience with multiple scenes of a young anorexic man, Laci, gulping down several bottles of water and, a few scen...

The Weight of Love in the Uncertainty of War

Adam’s Afraid (2024), a Hungarian student film by Mátyás Kovács, takes place during a war in an alternate reality and is infused with a tension that constantly keeps us on edge. But one question lingers throughout: Who is the enemy in this war? The film intentionally leaves this ambiguous, focusing not on the war itself but on the internal conflict of its characters. We never find out who they ...

Country Dearest. A Reflection on Young Hungarian Cinema

A government is to a nation what a parent is to a child. This idea has been a useful tool for propaganda throughout time and space, especially during war times. A strong parental figure can provide guidance, but the protecting hand can easily become the one that strangles. The new generation of Hungarian directors who presented their works in the student programme at the VFF festival is interes...
