The Real Jason and the Argonauts(en)

The myth of Jason and the Argonauts is over 3,000 years old and tells of an epic voyage of discovery to find the fabled Golden Fleece. Long assumed to be a work of fiction, recent archaeological discoveries are beginning to reveal a legend that may have been inspired by fact. Jason is supposed to have travelled east to the mythical land of Kolchis at the ends of the earth. Modern findings suggest that the real Jason was an ancient Greek mariner who led a crew of courageous mariners nearly 2000 miles to the far eastern shore of the Black Sea in search of trade – an audacious voyage into the unknown in nothing more than a small open ship. Using high-quality CGI effects to illustrate the adventures of Jason and his brave companions, and with contributors including historians, archaeologists and economists, this fascinating documentary looks behind the ancient myth to try and uncover the reality behind a story that has inspired three millennia of poetry and art and Hollywood films.

Karpotrotter(sl)

Karpotrotter is a road movie about place, time, and memory, as well as an homage to filmmaker Karpo Godina, whose work flourished during the Black Wave of Yugoslav filmmaking in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Contemporary filmmaker Matjaz Ivanisin retraces the footsteps, 40 years later, of his compatriot’s road trip through small villages in the rural countryside. Constructed from Godina’s 8mm footage from this journey, Ivanisin interlaces this material with landscape footage from his current road trip and contemporary interviews of the citizenry who recall Godina’s visit decades earlier; period folkloric music augments the soundtrack. The filmmaker structures his film in five sections that articulate the local character of different villages. Richly multi-layered in both temporal and spatial terms, the filmmaker constructs a poignant meditation about the local village culture and inhabitants of this rural region of the former Yugoslavia.
