The exhibition “Darkest Wave” will be opened in the District on October 4th and 5th, as part of Visual Arts Week during the Kaleidoscope of Culture. This event offers a retrospective of the works of the most significant directors of this period, including Dušan Makavejev, Aleksandar Petrović, Živojin Pavlović, Lazar Stojanović, etc.
The program includes:
- Spatial video installations in the exhibition space that will illuminate the key themes and aesthetics of the “Black Wave” through innovative presentations.
- Film screenings where selected films will be shown in their entirety, followed by panel discussions with experts. The films being screened include I Even Met Happy Gypsies, Plastic Jesus, and When I Am Dead and Gone.
