AUDIOVISUAL WHIMS OF AN EGGPLANT (2011)
Long time ago, the italian filmmaker Federico Fellini said in an interview that there’s two kind of people; those who work in order to earn money to live, and those who live in order to enforce their vocation. Of course, Fellini was the second kind of person, and all the filmmakers selected for this exhibition also create in order to explore and extend their vocation and talent. All the films we offer you now could not have been done without love. And our love to their work and to your city are the main motors of our will to show you this little sample of spanish contemporary films from the 9th-12th February 2011 at the Academy of Performing Arts of Sarajevo. + INFO

Spit up suck down: contemporary photography to debate (2012)
As the current wave of postmodernism rages against the dying of the light, at a moment when it appears that anyone can consider themselves to be a photogrpher, it seems somewhat necessary to take stock of the latest crop of image makers and offer a moment of reflection and debate about the meaning of photography today. In the incredible space that is Collegium Artisticum of Sarajevo, ellen james has the great pleasure of presenting "Spit up suck down: contemporary photography to debate", a cycle of projections and debates which took in Sarajevo from the 9th-11th February 2012. + INFO
