Personal vs Collective Memories
Moderated by Marko Grba Singh
May 12, 12.00 – Dušan Makavejev Hall, Yugoslav Film Archive, Uzun Mirkova 1
Travis Wilkerson will hold a masterclass on how very personal memories of his family (his father) transcend to collective memories of the veterans.
The Fuckee’s Hymn strikes shot at the mythification of the veteran, the decorations that elevate cruelty to the level of valor, and the poisonous power of myths that pervert the facts of conflicts and make them into an insurmountable burden.

May 13, 11.00 – Multimedia Hall, Yugoslav Film Archive,
Uzun Mirkova 1
In her lecture Viera Čákanyová will interpret Notes From Eremocene as the final film of an intuitive trilogy dealing with the same motives, narratives, issues: artificial intelligence, a dystopian future of humankind, analogue versus digital, nature versus civilization, and climate change.
