Prije tri godine Interfilm Berlin je u sklopu svog godišnjeg festivala uveo konkurenciju za dokumentarni kratki film kako bi se više pažnje posvetilo ovom žanru kratkog filma.

Uvijek tražimo vrlo neobične filmove ovog žanra; filmove koji zaobilaze estetiku televizije i većinom izražavaju sadržaj vizualno, a ne samo preko intervjua ili komentara.

Za festival dokumentarnog filma u Caracasu, svibnja 2006. sastavljen je program u kojem su traženi kratki dokumentarci bez dijaloga, što je predstavljalo velik izazov budući da još uvijek većina filmova komunicira kroz jezik.

Bilo je to prvi put da je Interfilm predstavio program samo s dokumentarnim filmom, a publici se svidio vizualni aspekt programa.

Program je sastavio i predstavlja Heinz Hermanns, direktor Interfilm Berlina – međunarodnog festivala kratkog filma. www.interfilm.de

Three years ago interfilm berlin introduced a competition for documentary shorts within its annual festival to focus more on this genre within the short film world and give it more attention. We are always looking for quite unusual films of this genre outside of any TV aesthetics that mostly express their content visually and not only via interviews or comments. the programme was put together for the Caracas documentary film festival in May 2006 that asked for a short documentary programme without dialogues which was quite a challenge as still most films work with language. It was the first time that interfilm presented a programme with only documentaries and the audience liked the visual presence of the programme.

The programme was put together and will presented by Heinz Hermanns the festival director of Interfilm Berlin - international short film festival. www.interfilm.de

Dok se ljudska srca na sjeveru naše zemlje pretvaraju u staklo, čekaju gosp. Andersena da im vrati bajke.

While the people's hearts turn into glass, in the north of our country, they wait for Mr. Andersen to bring back the fairytales.

Materijalni znaci industrijske kulture nestaju iz područja Ruhra, no njihove slike ostaju. Duhovi ponovno stvaraju taj svijet u plesu. Impresionistički rekvijem.

The material signs of industrial culture are vanishing in the Ruhr area, but their images remain. Ghosts recreate the world in a dance. An impressionistic requiem.

Nizozemska farma; 20 000 albino zečeva živi na farmi, nema zvuka, nema mirisa. .nijnok (zec na nizozemskom, pisano unatrag) distancira publiku neobičnom naracijom.

Pobjednik u kategoriji dokumentarnog filma na Interfilmu Berlinu 2005 i Tabor Film Festivalu 2005, kao i drugih nagrada.

U Sjevernom moru iverak se skriva u morskoj travi. Mnoge opasnosti vrebaju na dnu mora, no iverak je lukav. Jednog dana iverak se uhvati u mrežu. Dokumentarac s nekim elementima fikcije.

In the North Sea a flounder is hiding in the seaweed. Many dangers lurk on the bottom of the sea but the flounder is clever. One day the flounder is caught in a net. Documentary with some ficticious elements

Planirali smo napraviti portret svemira. Dok smo tražili metaforu za dušu, sjetili smo se pera i dokumentirali proces od guske do jastuka.

We had planned to make a portrait of the universe. While looking for a metaphor for the soul, we thought of the feather, and documented the process from goose to pillow.


Tuuka Hari / Finska/Finland 2001 / 12 ‘ / 35mm

Telakka je priča o starom suhom doku, napravljena tehnikom protjecanja vremena. Više san nego dokumentarni film.

Telakka is a story about an old dry dock with timelaps-technique More a dream than a documentary film.

Meditativna studija putujućeg cirkusa. Promjene u svjetlu, boji i vremenu otkrivaju prolaznost ljudskog postojanja.

A maditative study of a caravan park. The changes in light, colors and time, reveal the transience of human existence.

200 kilometara sjeverno od arktičkog kruga ljudi pecaju na jezeru Torneträsk. Sjede u svojim ''arkama'' – malim prijenosnim kabinama, ispunjenim svom suvremenom tehnikom.

A 100 miles north of the arctic circle, people fish on the lake Torneträsk. They sit in their "arks" - small, movable cabins, filled with all mod cons.
