Lake Bottom Cinema

2023 • Directed by

Vita Soul Wilmering

An open air cinema on the dry bottom of a lake in the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina opens a window to a silent past. A fisherman shares his associative reflections on found footage films shot by tourists traveling to the former Yugoslavia in the sixties and seventies. Via poetic, hesitant and sometimes hilarious remarks on both the people and the animals appearing on the screen, he creates a touching insight into a complex past.
