The Resistance / Отпор (Otpor) / Odpor

Boro Pejčinov (Vardar Film)

1978, Yugoslavia (Macedonia), 6’

A hammer fulfills its function systematically and without obstacles until it meets the nail that refuses to conform. A witty political metaphor that did not stop being relevant.

Kladivo svojo funkcijo izpolnjuje sistematično in brez ovir, dokler ne sreča žeblja, ki se ne pusti upogniti. Duhovita politična metafora, ki je še vedno relevantna.
