Marko Grba Singh: Rampart (2021)
Discussion: Ognjen Glavonić and Marko Grba Singh; moderator: Aleksandra Sekulić

Film „Rampart“ is produced in 2021, and the director Marko Grba Singh described it as a film about the end of the childhood, or the farewell to the space of the childhood. Film relies on the archive, but brings it to the continious reference to the contemporainety. We will talk with the author about the narrative practices which were the result of the work with the archive, and the specific cohesive aspects of the sound and editing.

The CZKD Cinema program is being realized since 2011. The CZKD Cinema aims to open the space of the film without subduing it to the imperative of sustainability of cultural industries.  We evoke a specific tradition of film experience, film production and education which was cherished in cinema clubs, a practice which has affected the entire film culture: There must be an attitude of respect for all participants and elements of film process.
