Poetic Vision: Films of Vlatko Gilić

“Gilić's films are called documentaries. But he's superb at finding the astonishing images that lurk in the ordinary world.”-New York Times

A rare opportunity to see Serbian filmmaker Vlatko Gilić ‘s haunting, beautiful-and mostly wordless-films. Whether a portrait of a mud bath with healing powers or a workday at a slaughterhouse, an encounter between a man and snakes on a rocky mountain, or a wife sharing a meal with her husband who works far from his family, Gilić renders the poetry of daily life but also the epic struggles between man and nature and between man and his own nature.
