Želimir Žilnik (1942) is Novi Sad-based filmmaker who rose to prominence in the late 1960s during the era of so called »Yugoslav Black Wave« in cinema. He is acclaimed for his radical, independent film practice and his pioneering use of hybrid non-fiction forms; he is also distinguished by his socially engaged and critical views and solidarity with movements against the status quo. Žilnik is now recognised as one of the most significant politically engaged filmmakers working today.

The film screening is organised in collaboration with Luksuz Production from Krško.
