Stefan Arsenijevic's Mala jutarnja prica (Little Morning Story, 2002), produced by the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, University of Arts, BelgradeSERBIA
Making the best
of a bad situation

Belgrade's film school profiled

Perhaps boosted by recent successes in Serbian film-making, Belgrade's film school gets over 100 applicants every year but can only take on five students. The number of film debuts in the country is even more depressing. Elke de Wit finds out how the school copes.

I love actors
Dalibor Matanić interviewed

If his social comedy-cum-romance debut wasn't enough, Matanić's second feature, an acerbic drama about a lesbian couple in Zagreb, marks him as a rising European talent. Igor Pop Trajkov spoke to the director at the Skopje Film Festival.

Unclear boundaries

Ivan Vojnar's Lesni chodci (Forest Walkers, 2003)CZECH REPUBLIC
The way through
the bleak city

Ivan Vojnár's Lesní chodci (Forest Walkers, 2003)

Vojnár's third feature-length film is neither the lush cinematic poetism of his debut nor the essayistic investigation of his second work. Andrew James Horton looks at how the director has synthesized the styles of his previous works and developed their themes in this unusual tale of dispossesion.

GERMAN HORROR
Jorg Buttgereit's Nekromantik 2 (1991)Sex, selfhood and the corpse of the German past
Jörg Buttgereit's Nekromantik (1987) and Nekromantik 2 (1991)

Arguing for the thematic complexity and technical sophistication of Jörg Buttgereit's controversial "necro-porn-horrors," Linnie Blake argues that they "share a set of artistic and ideological concerns usually associated with the canonical auteurs of the Young German Cinema and the New German Cinema of the 60s and 70s."

Oliver Hirschbiegel's Das Experiment (The Experiment, 2001)GERMAN HORROR
The origins of violence in a peaceful society
Oliver Hirschbiegel's Das Experiment (The Experiment, 2001)

In this insightful and theoretically informed essay, Steffen Hantke examines the "specific social and historical situation" in which Oliver Hirschbiegel's recent German film Das Experiment has become such a critical and commercial success.
