Zone of Transition V: peace/war
In this accompanying program for the retrospective of Anja Medved and Nadja Velušček’s film oeuvre, we will have the opportunity to view films that explore various aspects of creativity and creators: Salt and Sand (2003), a portrait of Trieste-based poet, writer, essayist, and translator Marko Kravos, who, on the occasion of his milestone birthday and the publication of a poetry collection, demonstrates his characteristic vitality. Painting with Soil (2006) is a documentary reportage about the art colony in Medana, which highlights not only creativity, as well as the community that forms around it (and it seems that communities emerging from artistic or other forms of creation are also one of the key subthemes in both the collaborative work of Anja Medved and Nadja Velušček and in Anja Medved’s independent projects). With her latest film, Renato’s Plan (2014), the creative gesture transcends the realm of art, presenting a portrait of Renato Borghi as he builds a small hydroelectric power plant by hand.

Painting with Soil
A documentary report on the MMMArt art colony in Medana, Brda.
Renato’s Plan
For fifteen years, Renato “Collovet” Borghi has been making his dreams come true: he tames a torrent, builds cargo cableways and a small hydroelectric plant—all with his own two hands. He is a man who moves mountains, creating works of epic poetry in the process.
This short documentary was created as part of the public space installation “Eternal Construction Site” within the cross-border year-long project “Distances 2013/14,” organized by UNIKUM Klagenfurt.
