Slovenian 8mm Experiments: Karpo Godina and Davorin Marc
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at PFA Theater
(see times)
Introduction / Jurij Meden
Jurij Meden is the former curator of film exhibitions at Slovenian Cinematheque and is currently curator of film exhibitions at George Eastman House
Karpo Godina launched his career in the mid-sixties with a succession of 8mm experimental shorts, predominantly designed to question everything he was being taught at the state film academy. In retrospect it seems as if Godina had to go through this romantic, frantic phase in order to arrive at what he became famous for: extracting as much (political) action and dynamics as possible from meticulously framed, perfectly still images. Emerging a decade after Godina, the post-punk Davorin Marc remains a subject for further research. Notoriously reclusive and with over 150 super-8mm and 16mm films under his belt, he modestly describes his work as “small films.”
