Presentation of the documentary film “Vitic Dances” at the 16th Râșnov History and Film Festival from August 22-26, 2024, in Romania.

At the invitation of the selector and coordinator of the 16th Rasnov History and Film Festival, Mihail Dragomir, we will present our feature-length documentary film “Vitić pleše” in the competition selection. Prior to Romania, the film has been showcased, following its premiere at ZGDOX 2023, in Macedonia, Bulgaria, Serbia, India, Sweden, Ecuador, the United Kingdom, Malta, Turkey, Uruguay, Italy, Armenia, and Hungary.

The film was shot over nearly 20 years and edited over 5 years. It dynamically explores the relationship between architecture and society through the example of the renovation of the Narodna Banka residential-commercial complex designed by architect Ivo Vitić in Zagreb. As a result of the community art project “Vitić pleše” by Boris Bakal and Shadow Casters, the building was renovated from 2016 to 2018, marking the largest investment in residential renewal since World War II.

The film has received 7 significant awards to date: Special Mention at the Days of Croatian Film 2023, Special Mention for the Preservation of Memory and Cultural Heritage at the 18th Balkan New Film Festival in Stockholm (Sweden), the Grand Prize for Best Documentary at the Asian Talent International Film Festival 2024 in Ahmednagar (India), Best Documentary Award at the festival in Ecuador (San Antonio), and awards for Best Film, Best Production, and Best Director at the festival in London. Besides this festival, the film has been invited to festivals in Serbia, Montenegro, France, and Croatia in 2024.
