Veljko approaches the question through his experience of making Cinema Laika and living in a small Finnish community (Veljko is Croatian and lives in France). The talk will explore how cultural spaces like movie theaters contribute to local identity and social cohesion.
Veljko will reveal how he constructed this documentary with elements of fiction, resulting in a form that could be called <> (Fiction of the Real). He's also got stories to tell of sharing a construction site with the master of Finnish cinema, Aki Kaurismaki (Fallen Leaves)
If you missed the Thursday screening, no worries. He'll show plenty of excerpts from the film.
Coffee, Tea, and La Gourmandine Treats will be served.
