NO WAY

In 2001 V-Day and Equality Now organised the first Stop Rape Contest to encourage women around the world to envision a world free from sexual violence and to formulate concrete action plans to get there.

Karin Heisecke and Silke Pillinger, two bakers’ daughters from Germany, had the idea for a campaign using paper bags - and won!From late September 2001 til end of November 2001, the first stop rape paper bag campaign, took place in Saarbrücken, Germany, with the slogan “Vergewaltigung kommt nicht in die Tüte!” (“Rape: No Way!”). On the bags for selling bread, they printed infos about domestic violence, hotline number and info on the campaign.

Belgian film maker Marie Vermeiren made the documentary “...kommt nicht in die Tüte! ...No way!” about this first paper bag campaign in Saarbrücken. She interviews bakery sellers, costumers and organizers of the campaign and draws a very clear picture of this certain direct action.

Ustanak u Jasku// Uprising in Jazak

The film consists of three basic motives:
1. It is the folk (shown in the film), who carried on war with their own hands, started  the change from capitalism to socialism and lived on breaking up the earth. The folk live and they are not upset: they never lilved in better conditions. They were witnesses as long as the king ruled over the country, and when he fell, fascism marched over the folk. But they fought and survived, even the Russians came and parted again. The folk are the basis out of which I anticipate the right answer to any crisis. 

2. Such a film about a war includes  also the social status  of its participants - into a dialogue of memories with the real life of today. 

3. There should be made an end with the cinematographical manipulation of the war subject. The films created in this way are often so privileged, so spectacular and expensive, so strikingly without the  participation of the people, that you really lose the conviction that there could ever be made an honest, true and simple film about the Yugoslav war and the Yugoslav revolution. 

My film shows that we have people who made war and revolution out of their own forces. This folk should be  made the main hero of the films about  war and revolution subjects.

Crni Film // Black Film

One night Zilnik picks up 10 homeless men from the streets of Novi Sad and brings them home. While they enjoy the hospitality of his family, Zilnik tries to ‘’solve the homeless problem’’ - bringing along  the film camera, as a witness. He talks to different social services, common citizens, even the police. Everybody close their eyes in front of the ‘’problem’’.

This film depicts the misery of abstract humanism. It is a reckoning with anarcho-liberalism, with false avant-gardism, with social demagogy, with left-wing fraction. 
The author sees this film as an example of filmmaker's exploitation of others' misfortune, beleiving as they do that, they belong to a higher social class than the victims.  [www.zelimirzilnik.com]

NO LAGER - NOWHERE

Camps for refugees and migrants - everywhere in Europe you can find these places, that cannot be found on any usual map. Camps aim to exclude and deterr people, and serve as a filter for the labourmarkets. Camps create a hierachy of rights and represent a cornerstone of global apartheid. It is time to draw new maps, maps of resistance: to tear down the visible and invisible fences and walls, to attack all lagers and detention centers by any means necessary.

The film documents various experiences and actions from eight countries: a collection of testimonies, but mainly a patchwork of images of resistance, which should encourage and inspire to intensify and to transnationalise the struggles against the "lagerregimes".
