This feature documentary is a portrait of Ivan Bolle, an unknown Slovenian filmmaker who made films in the 1930s, documenting various events in and around Ljubljana. His film opus includes four medium-length fiction films set in the mountains. Ivan Bolle was the first Slovenian filmmaker to screen films with sound, playing music from his rich collection of classical records or previously recorded sound effects on a gramophone player – 78 rpm. He also experimented with film coloring, and was a versatile figure in the world of cinema, serving as a screenwriter, director, camera operator, and actor.

Director's statement
It was 13 years ago that I discovered Bolle’s precious legacy in the Antika Carniola antique shop. I was completely in awe of this unknown filmmaker who made films in the 1930s and screened them together with sound. That was still deep in the silent era.

Gre za dokumentarno igrani portret o Ivanu Bolletu, pol Italijanu pol Slovencu, rojenem v Italiji, ki je kot filmski entuziast delal in ustvarjal v Sloveniji. Ohranjena je njegova bogata filmska zapuščina, zato je projekt zanimiv tudi iz avdiovizualnega stališča. Scenarij projekta je temeljit in kaže na Bolleta kot filmskega pionirja, ki je bil v svojih filmskih reportažah v marsikaterem zvokovno slikovnem postopku med prvimi v Sloveniji, če ne že prvi. Projekt je kot tak zanimiv tudi za slovensko kulturno zakladnico. Je tudi dovolj izviren in inovativen, saj nam iz zgodovinske pozabe prikliče povsem neznanega, vendar zanimivega ustvarjalca, skupaj z njegovo filmsko dediščino, ki je dragocena. Režijsko se projekt portretirančevega dela in življenja loteva s kombinacijo pripovedi, rekonstrukcij in arhivskega materiala, po klasični linearni strukturi. Izjemno natančna dokumentacija in analiza portretirančevega življenja in dela se kaže v scenariju. Slednji na začetku z opisom gledanega skoraj zavede, saj se nam zdi, da gre za film o zgodovini, ki je dokumentirana, in ne o avtorju. Kasneje gledano preko opisa dogajanja še vedno dobi svoj zgodovinski kontekst, hkrati pa se loteva analize filmskega jezika portretiranca.
