BlenDer<br />

Dok Market<br />
Blender is an autobiographical, inspired documentary<br />
film. In the 70s, my parents founded a mental hospital<br />
on top of a mountain in the German alps called<br />
Blender. Until today my siblings are working there and<br />
I´m the only one who left the place. The film Blender<br />
is about six inhabitants of the hospital, Friedlieb, Julius,<br />
Marie, Lars, Herr Kraus and Herr Stuhler. Four of<br />
them had to leave the place during the film. The reasons<br />
are typical for patients in mental hospitals: it´s about<br />
alcohol, death, multiple personalities and violence. The<br />
film tells the stories of my protagonists in a light way<br />
showing an apparently idyllic place, that changes more<br />
and more into sadness and drama. Their leaving is<br />
also the main connection to my childhood, where people<br />
were coming and going all the time and I didn´t know<br />
at all what was going on. The protagonists of my film are<br />
appealingly direct and undisguised, though they never<br />
lose dignity. All of them are fully aware of their situa-<br />
tions and act with their own internal logic. For the main<br />
part Blender is not about being foolish or different. The<br />
film unfolds multifaceted forms of human existences, all<br />
condemned to be lonely in life.<br />

tHe BlockaDe<br />
by igor Bezinović<br />
section<br />
Dok international programme<br />
The Blockade is a unique view from within on the most<br />
massive, longest and politically most significant student<br />
protest in the country, since 1971, that started in April<br />
of 2009 at the Faculty of humanities and Social Sciences<br />
in Zagreb. The struggle against the commercialization<br />
of education and the blockade of teaching classes lasted<br />
for 34 days. The rebellion spread onto more than 20<br />
faculties across the country and the students became an<br />
active and relevant political subject. The director<br />
followed everything: from the exhilarating preparation<br />
meetings and blocking of classes to the first signs of<br />
exhaustion, through personal situations and discussions<br />
late at night, from the initial support of most faculty<br />
members to the moment they turned their back to<br />
the movement and the attempt to reach the missing minis-<br />
ter of education. This film shows that the blockade was<br />
not just physical and that it has a much broader meaning.<br />
