Kino Klub Split

Hundreds of frozen and starved people floating on boats in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea fleeing from the war... Familiar scenes that we are used to seeing in recent times. But the year is 1944, and the refugees are travelling from Europe to Africa. After Italian capitulation,and before the arrival of German army, 28 000 Dalmatian Croats left their home villages and towns to live for two years under the tents in the middle of Egyptian desert, in a kind of a communist model village that was formed to show the Allies how the new Yugoslavia will look like when the war ends. This is a story about them.

Break-dance trash musical comedy/parody based on William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet.

A meditation on transience composed through juxtaposition of sun-bathed exteriors of Split and dark interiors, landscapes of the city and close-ups of human faces, movements and stillness, the material and the spiritual.

Meštrović (Exaltation of Matter), is a short film directed by Ivan Martinac, recorded in the production of Kino Club Split. He filmed it provoked by the teasing of Belgrade moviegoers who claimed that “mostly eating and drinking is done in the Split cinema club”, which was not far from the truth. Still, the wounded pride and anger took their toll, and in 1960 he filmed his first “Split” film — Meštrović (The Exaltation of Matter) with which he succeeded. At the international film festival in Vienna, he received a UNICA bronze plaque, the first international award received by amateur cinematography in Yugoslavia at the time.
