    When the Croatian War of Independence ended, Bosnian Croats whose villages had been destroyed in the fighting were forced to relocate. They were rehoused in the homes of Croatian Serbs who had left Croatia. Now, the Serbian owners are returning and the Croatian residents are facing an uncertain future. Somewhere in this powder keg atmosphere, an old man called Jozo, a Bosnian Croat, disappears without a trace. The police officer Filip, who also lives in a Serbian house, is entrusted with the case. Everyone believes that a returning Serb has murdered Jozo, but Filip launches a detailed investigation, determined to be unbiased and fair, even though he has his own ghosts from the past to deal with.

    Velvet Terrorists is a film about minor and foiled terrorist plots. The film focuses on three protangonists. The first one wanted to blow up a decorated stage during a May 1st celebration in the 1970s. The second one planned to assassinate the president and start an anticommunist revolution but his letter to the CIA was so naive that nobody bothered to reply. The third one blew up communist billboards. This film is about our relative views of history and the perspectives from which we can interpret these indi-viduals and their actions.

    “My daughter was nine at the time when I was making this film. Since her birth I’ve had an irrational fear that I would lose her in a moment of carelessness. That someone would take her away one ordinary day and that I would never find her again. Behind that sense of anxiousness actually lies a much deeper problem, the fact that one day she will simply not be needing me anymore. At that moment, I will have to let her go. That is the fear of separation and that fear is what my first short film is centred on.” – Nina Violić

    A hitman comes to the capital on an assignment. Troubled past and reckless actions cause a number or misunderstandings leading to tragic consequences. Through the mosaic structure of the film plot and the clashes of surreal and logical narrative, the paths of the main protagonist are crossed, in unknown surroundings, in intentional or chance encounters with seven other character personalities, opposed in an intricate web of permanent conflict. Death and the disappearance of all forms of reasoned action become a synonym for the meaninglessness of the performed crime as the main drive of the story.

    Young intellectual, Krešo, becomes victim of an unjust social system and various life situations that unfold one after another, gradually leading him to utter financial and existential destruction, while he is powerless over the  outcome and can do nothing to change his life for the better. He finds self-achievement only in the video blog (vlog) he occasionally shoots where he reveals his positive thoughts on life, always looking for that silver lining in everything that happens to him and believing in a better tomorrow.

    Bruno Pavić (Zagreb, 1988.) received a B.A. degree in Film and Video and M.A. degree in Film arts from the University of Split Art Academy. Vlog marks his feature directorial debut.
