Makavejev is one of the most controversial and original of the Yugoslavian 'Black Wave' directors. His short films, which are often characterised by a blend of fact and fiction, time and again touch on forbidden themes. In the course of three programs, the Short Film Festival will offer visitors a comprehensive overview of Makavejev's short film work from the 50s to the 90s, including, of course, classics
such as 'Parada' (1962), a sharp glance behind the scenes of the socialist cult of the parade, and 'Nova domaca zivotinja' (1964), his ironic comparison
between the utilitarian domestic horse and its successor, the automobile.
