Building bridges based on the belief that film becomes art only when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil & paper. Cine Pobre Film Festival is the 100% cartel-free intersection of culture and capabilities.
GESKA HELENA (born 1975) and ROBERT BREČEVIĆ (born 1971) form the internationally-acclaimed artist duo Performing Pictures. Their works center around memory and movement, linking language and moving images in haunting ways that often require the viewer’s response. Their expanding body of video animations, ciné-apparitions and casual snapshots blurs lines between media forms, between still and moving images, and between ephemerality and permanence. The images are made tangible, often installed as objects outside the fine art circuit: in a Stockholm railway station, on a watchtower over a former Soviet army base, at the entrance to an Istanbul bank, as a chapel in a remote Croatian village or a building façade in an industrial area. This is the long-awaited first feature film by Performing Pictures.
