What a tutta forza adventure! I returned from Novigrad excited, intoxicated and happy, dizzy with impressions of the entire kaleidoscope of film gems and in a state of being burningly intrigued, that prompted me to throw myself into a closer exploration of the seductive-dark canyon of recent works of the genres brilliantly presented by the Avant-Garde Horror & Fantasy Film Festival! My dreamy, furious and frenzied experimental fusion of image, poetry and performance, "The Butterfly and the Snake", received a special mention for a short hybrid genre film, but what I will remember even longer and more intensely is the fantastic atmosphere, wonderful people, excellent organization and magical, surreal experience!

Enantiodromia
- High Priestess -
(Vertiginous voltage of veiled veins vain as a violet-vermilion vulture)
(The title "Enantiodromia" is inspired by the term I heard again in a podcast that preceded the one about Clarice Lispector, whom I just joyfully discovered. What drew me more to her literary opus is the statement, "This is not writing, this is pure witchcraft.")

Artemizia Foundation: "Butterfly Effect" and "Black Siren"
Stills from my poetic movie experiment "Satan´s Porcupine" ("Šejtanov dikobraz"), 2018.
I started playfully combining words and poetry with visual art in early 2000s, which resulted in my first film "Nigredo" (2004), frenetic, angsty examination of my disco-ball-faceted identity laced with carnal opulence, repulsively curious photomanipulations and heretic distortions/contortions. I edited photos in a primitive, punk manner and drew wacky neon pixelated creatures as extensions of myself in Microsoft Paint (saving them on floppy disks). The movie was presented in Nano Gallery as a part if my solo exhibition "Schizomania".
"Satan´s Porcupine" was shown in Poetry In Preparation (video poetry evening), Prozori Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia and Zeljezara Festival - Visual Poetry And Prose Mix, Striegl Gallery, Sisak, Croatia.
