The first comprehensive American retrospective of the films of Goran Paskaljevic (b. 1947, Belgrade), one of Europe's most respected directors, featuring new 35mm English-subtitled prints of thirteen features and two shorts by the director. Though Paskaljevic's films are narrative-based, they are driven by restless, idiosyncratic, and all-too-human characters, and often veer off in surprising and fanciful directions. Paskaljevic finds the extraordinary in the reality of the everyday, and his realism, informed by the political transformations he has witnessed, is inflected with irony. He has written, "The beauty of film for me is its closeness to life. And if it is going to reflect life faithfully, it has to draw on metaphor, just like poetry."
