WORLD PREMIERE IN MARIBOR

Miloš Tomić's MY FATHER'S DAMN CAMERA!

Saturday, 2. 10. 2021 / 21.00 / Vetrinj mansion, big hall

The newest Miloš Tomić's stop-motion / experimental film is inspired by the work of an acknowledged photographer and one of the central figures of Maribor's cultural life, Dragiša Modrinjak (1935-2011). My Father's Damn Camera! was produced by Maribor-based Film Factory. It is a great honour for StopTrik, a festival of stop-motion animation with its origins in Maribor, to host the world premiere of this unique work so deeply rooted in the visual culture of our city.

On this special occasion, we will present the film and talk to the filmmaking crew. We will learn about the photo-collage, the cut-out technique employed in the film, watch additional animated material and talk about the production process.

My Father's Damn Camera!
Miloš Tomić (Film Factory)
2021, SLO, 6'40''

A naughty boy persistently seeks the attention of his father, a photographer, in an almost desperate and therefore troublesome way. Confronted with his father’s artistic chaos and his obsessive fascination for photography-life while growing up, these elements eventually become essential for strengthening their father-son bond. 

In a story that intertwines hand-drawn and stop animation in the collage technique, the author takes his audience on a ride through the archive of the Slovenian photographer Dragiša Modrinjak and draws from personal experience as a filmmaker and father at the same time.
